you can have my hydro water pump if you want but i dont have all the lines, res or ECU (i think it runs a separate ECU).

thats what id do, id also give the whole lot a good flush, your be surprised how much a does of radiator flush helps. or maybe a better radiator like this one her ei have for sale...

Damn thats a good price, too bad it wouldn't fit my car. It's even cheaper than the piece of crap ebay special I bought (but won't end up using as the core is bent)

The most appealing thing about running a hydraulic setup is the fact it all looks completely factory. But yer, i think it'll be too much hassle.

Kemicalx - tried fixing your thermo fan problem with a proper high output thermofan? and or proper mounting... fans like davis craig (example) are far from high output..

Yer that's the plan,

Unfortunately due to current routing of the intercooler plumbing there isn't enough clearance to run a shroud and some decent SPAL fans (even the slim lines with a shroud would foul).. And rerouting the intercooler piping would require relocating the battery to the boot, lol there's never an easy solution..

are you sure it wouldnt fit? soarers are bloody big cars, there was enough room to easily fit a 1gz in my gz10

my cressy fits the radiator with cooler piping, stock shroud and battery. i did a 'no holes' approach for RWC happiness.

edit, i think those good elec fans are stupidly exxy, id go the falcon fans for sure! not sure if you can also put a pushing fan infront?

a oil cooler may help engine temps as well. i found with my silvia, with a twin core koyo i would always be cooking the oil long before water temps so spare a thought to the oil, its more important then the water in some respects.
