Can anyone tell me the hight and width of an RST rad, just done a MK5 conversion and im having trouble squeezing my rad in with the cooler , if not ill goto AutoCool down the road and get a custom alloy item made for £150 Cheers

 

Series 2 Rs Turbo radiator is 325 high 570 wide, core is 42mm thick

 

Cheers graham, can you match £150+ vat for a rad?

 

No I'm afraid I can't , seens very cheap

 

Ive had no problem fitting the standard one and rad in my mk5. Its a cabriolet tho, but shouldnt be a problem in yours?

 

Can you send pics please mate, of the full engine if you can, metering unit is in way of coolant hoses - Graham, thanks anyway

 

Intercooler sits just down by the side of the shortened rad.

Anymore info, add me pantsd0tc0m@hotmail.com

 

150 for an alloy rad!!!!!!!!! have you got there phone number?

 

01904438500 its in york mate, a place called autocool, let me know how you get on, K18NEO, thanks for the pics, Anyone got a brake servo vacume hose and fitting, cant get one nowhere Cheers. pete

 

K18NEO, what did you do about the Zorst mate, i was thinking of buying jettex parts and making one, ive got downpipe and centre section, any suggestions?

 

i had a custom 2 1/4 inch made to my car, but it would be good if you could do it yourself. From the rs manifold, the mk5 dont fit, plus if you have a 1.5 inch bore on it, it restricts it to like -14psi... so ensure you have 2inch or more bore.

Custom made one is the best, i paid £300 with a 4inch exit.

Make your own out of sections, try it if you got lots of time.

 

Yeah, gonna make my own, ive got exhaust tubing, its just over 2" bore, will slide over original rs zorst, will seam weld it, matt, sorry mate, the rads aint fully alloy for £150, they have copper and brass end tanks, gave him my spec today - same as RST rad just 500mm in lengh rather than 700 odd, £130 cash , any idea how good copper/brass end c ps will be, core is alloy and its slightly thicker than STD core
