X2 excel radiator

[chris davey]

Hi,

Does anyone know the dimensions for this radiator 100%?

The fag at the parts place won't measure it up for me and is 100km away.

Got quoted $120 for a second hand one with no thermo fan when other people have paid $65 to $80 with a thermo.

Wankers!

Anyway, if anyone has the dimensions that would be good

I can measure mine up tonight.. I paid $50 for a secondhand one with a thermo on it!

Later got a brand new one for $240 or so.

[chris davey]

That would be awesome!!!

Where did you get a new one for $240?

[TurboRA28]

Just the local radiator shop, Hornsby Radiators I think it was.

That was the main reason I moved away from the AE86 radiator to the Excel one, similar in diamentions but the Excel one is somewhere around half the price.

Also the Excel one has fittings for the thermo which was a big bonus.

Maybe this will help?

Awesome!

God bless Ebay.

Have asked him about the total height including end tanks. By the looks of it it should be fine though.

SL666 said his is coping well in his 1jz hilux even at motorkhana's so it should do me fine I think.

Thanks again mate.

Will give some rep when I can. Must spread love.

I don’t know too much about radiators but I figure the bigger the better.

So the X2 core dimensions are
335X603X16mm.
Dude said it is probably about 435 high including end tanks.

I had a look through some other ones and it seems that the 93-97 Sonata would be good if it fits.
400X680X25. Taller, wider and thicker. Got to be better right

Inlets and outlets look right too.

What do you think?

[TurboRA28]

I believe the bigger the better in surface area, but not always with the thickness of th core..

Interesting I need a new radiator and that looks like it'll fit nicely.

[chris davey]

My current radiator total dimension seems to be

440X740X50mm

So I don’t think the Lantra one will hit height wise. And if people think that the X2 excel one will do the job ok on a 1jz that will be making some big power (around 300rwkw) soon then I will just go that way.

Have you guys looked into the Celica ST162 ones? They are pretty small, actually almost the same size as my Vn commodore one, just a leetle thinner.

[TurboRA28]

I can only comment on mine keeping the 200rwkw 3SGTE cool on circuit track days. 8 + laps of Wakefield and its still in the low 90's.

[chris davey]

Well that sounds very promising. My car won't be seeing any circuit work so I think I will just go with the excel radiator. Thanks guys

why not find a bigger core for your current rad?

I went to a rad shop with ms ms112, and they had a catalogue with dimensions of other cores to fit that size. I eneded up having a 3 core out of a datsun put into the ms112 stock radiator and it cost me $350 or something

[chris davey]

The problem is the end tanks. Apparently, chaser radiators are different to all others?

If there was another core that could be fit and similar end tanks then that would be good.
