jjullienn Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Hi all ! Looking for a radiator for my ep71 with 4efte engine inside. Im currently using the ep71 radiator but cant stick a fan to it because of he lack of space. What have you guys used? I heard civic rad are a nice fit? Thanks !

MR-2 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I bought Honda 3row radiator, not yet fitted to my EP70, mayne gona move that lower pipe more left, so no help for You now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jjullienn Posted January 19, 2017 Author Share Posted January 19, 2017 Thnks for the reply! What fan are you planning to use with that? do you have an idea on how to attach you radiator to the car body? Custom brackets? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MR-2 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I'm gona swap 5E-FTE engine and want room for downpipe, so that reason pipe have to move opposite side, this is maybe waste of time, but can easily do now when radiator is new without any old liquids.Gona drill old lower brackets away and do full new brackets, easier that way. On top there is only one tap, so there also some custom plate to hold radiator. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
funny onion Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I have a civic rad with slimline fan in my 4efte EP70, fits with no issues, and the pipes fit fine, just had to rotate the bottom pipe slightly and trim the top pipe, nothing major. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stu Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 ^this. I run basically the same in my 4agte EP71 and havent had any heat issues even in the height of summer. I made up an aluminium shroud so that the fan pulls air through the whole radiator core which seems to help. Ive got the ran control set at 88 degrees with a hysteresis of 2 degrees and it never runs more than 30sec even stuck idling in the pits at our local drag strip in 30 degree plus temps, or at the circuit. One thing ive found that can make a big difference is directing as much air as possible thru the radiator by using shielding either side and even above/below. I remember reading an article on it years ago and after trying it myself it really does make quite a difference. A mate of mine has a AE86 and after making shrouds to fill as many gaps so the air can bypass the radiator it definitely help temp alot better at the track when drifting.

MR-2 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Well written Stu, important thigs, also behind radiator In normal road use not so big thing even with one row small radiator, but with turbo and track area everything accects. Two row radiator is okay also in most of case... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
