Im looking to maybe go all metal to replace my radiator. Mine has a tranny cooler line port with a plug installed...and its leaking a little bit. Its gonna go soon.....

Someone posted about installing an all metal one but I forgot who it was.

Thanks....

Be Cool and Ron Davis make nice units.

Not cheap though. I like the Ron Davis I bought to replace the Be Cool, but both are nice. My 455 was having cooling issues.

Be Cool on the left, Davis on the right. Both fit it in the stock location, but you need to trim the fan shroud for the water pump pulley

Where does the coolant crossover line attach to.....? I dont see the port on either of those...the port thats usually right under the radiator cap.
I see the overflow port right at the filler neck......

Also...are those other holes for the Coolant Level sensor.....?

You cant go wrong with ron davis, be cool or griffin, however the $135 one on shmeebay has been used frequently by people on here, its a drop in replacement and I have heard no complaints.

You can see the cross over and level sensor here. Right click on the picture and click open in new tab and you will get a larger image for more detail.



Added this for clarity:

A- Coolant overflow
B- Coolant crossover return
C- Coolant level sensor

That does seem to have the crossover port. It has a blue plug on the upper right side of the tank, Look at my installed picture above. I used braided line, but all you need is an npt to push on fitting to put the stock line there.

Oh damn....ok thanks. I was looking for a port that sticks out like factory radiator. Its a metal fitting instead.....
And thats cool it has the coolant level sensor port too.

But....today I had to get a radiator in there so I just put another LT1 radiator in for $90.00. I leave for the Middle East in two days and I had to have this done so my girlfriend can use my car while Im gone.

But for sure Im gonna get one of those later on....especially if I boost this thing like I want to do. Having to go to the Middle East has put a hold on my Twin Turbo plans.

Thanks for the pictures.....

BTW.....how is the ITB intake doing....?
What do you think it offers in RWHP increase over the best plastic ported intake...?

I remember being one of the first members on here like 8 years ago to consider the Harrop........

Also....what lid is that...?

What mm diameter is the outlet....?

The lid is a cut up FTP 104mm feeding 2 4" tubes off the Y.

I have another I will be redoing to make it fit as supplied by FTP.

As for the Harrop, car has been 1/2 done for 4 years. The motor made 705 fwhp with 1 7/8" old headers. It has 2" Kooks now with merge collectors. May pick up a few hp. The Harrop flowed terrible. I spent a lot of time and money to pick up 45 cfm to get to 330 cfm. The throttle response is awesome though and improved the cars handling and has a 750 rpm idle at that power level and no cam lope.

Is that a 1/4" NPT bung on all of those alloy aftermarket radiators, or some other size??

dailydriver

Are the ITBs on the Katech/Pratt & Miller C5/6/7Rs a brand name the public can just go and buy (albeit for CRAZY coin), or are they 'one-off', bespoke intakes ONLY available to them and other race team customers??

I think those are made by Kinsler. They are also restricted, so they in fact make less power, so flow may mean less than tuned power band for them.

BTW,the Kinsler is supposed to be pricey.

Got a link to that on ebay.....I'll buy one and keep it for later.

Any fitment issues at all....? Or did it go in normally and fit exactly like a factory radiator...?

IIRC....I priced a Kinlser 5-6 years ago......I think it was like $12,000.

Extreme rip off......

Fit perfect other then the one port missing. Since 01s don't have the coolant level sensor I just ran my coolant crossover line to that port with a welded adapter I made.
Here's one with all the ports

Here's one like what I bought, same just missing that one fitting

Are they restricted by design to comply with ALMS rules (in conjunction with the required inlet restrictors)??

Do the ITBs in any way help with the lean running, most rearward passenger side cylinder at all?
