Steve Moore's
Datsun 1600 S14 SR20 DET (variable cam timing) Radiator.
These two
pictures show the two plane taper we had to fabricate into the
tanks too maximise his cooling capacity. Maximum size core
& minimum size tanks.
Also note
the smooth high build double weld on the inside joins in
the tank.
The side
taper allows a full width of core to fit inside the header
plates of the intercooler. We are abit paranoid after
finding Mick McGregor's radiator only just does the job during
severe service. We want all of our products to have as big a
over-performance margin as possible. As a result, the
surface area has increased (although we have to run the new
Davies Craig Electric Water Pump to make enough room), the core
thickness has increased from 37mm to 57mm. & in the new "dimple"
tube, so we'll see how this goes.
This is the
finished article. Horizontal tube is to slip the Davies
Craig probe for the electronic fan controller we sell, so if the
radiator ever has to come out, he doesn't have to worry about
having to try & seal that bloody capillary tube of old.
We mounted
the Davies Craig EWP directly onto the bottom tank, eliminating
2 hose joints, much neater. Once again, fabricated mounts
for the fan.
