KuyaAlfie Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 I’m restoring a 1971 Corolla Wagon KE26. I’m in the process of selecting a radiator and fan. I’ve decided on the Koyorad VH012825. My question is what fan and shroud is compatible? Any advise would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banjo Posted April 24 Report Share Posted April 24 (edited) Hi Alfie, That's a nice looking radiator. Where are you physically located ? Is that radiator you have chosen, a dual pass model ? I note that there are some companies, supplying this Koyo radiator, complete with twin electric fans. https://www.tf-works.com/kswap-koyo-radiator-aluminum-fan-shroud-with-spal-fans/ Depending on how you are going to drive your KE26, & where you are located, that maybe a lot of radiator, for such a small engine ? I personally have found, that my 4KU engine, in a 2 door KE30 Corolla sedan, I can drive around all day, in 25-30 deg C ambient temperatures; in traffic, without the fan ever switching on. The ram effect of the air is sufficient to keep the engine coolant temperature in check, whilst the car is in motion. You may even be better off, with no stroud, & maybe just a single electric fan, under thermostatic control. It depends very much on where you are located, & the resident outside air temps, & how you intend to drive the KE26.
