[ke20red]

Hey guys, ok i have a serious cooling issue with my radiator I'm

running a 4k 1300 in a ke20 and the temperature is reaching 90

degrees and to cut cost don't peculariy want to re-core it....

 

And the problem is i don't even think my radiator works or

even half of it so was wondering do all ke series bolt straight

up if i went to a wreckers and found one just wondering what

models worked or what radiaters that people have used that have

been great like even celicas/t-18 or what ke radiator would solve

the problem that bolts straight up? ...any rollaclub experts really

need the help as its my daily atm...

 

Cheers

You would probably be better of going to the wreckers your self with sizes and where the outlets are and find something similar.

 

How much did you want to spend?

 

Where are the outlets?

I doubt you have much of a problem, the thermostat most likely opens around the 80-85 mark, and you might get a bit of overshoot. If it's always going over 100 then thats a different matter.

 

From my looking, the radiators get larger with each model - KE20 slightly taller than KE10, KE30 is wider again, KE70 wider again. It's straightforward to fit the larger rad's, just need a bracket with a set of offset holes.

 

You could get your radiator flushed if you think it is clogged, should only cost 50 bucks, and while you're at it, change you thermostat over, it may be stuck.

cheers guys

 

Yeah i was reading that these engines run optimal at like 75-85 degrees

so maybe like hosing it out myself or geting the best coolant might be the go

or if anyoneelse has a radiator spare thats good for a 20 would be great
