Radiator Question

[Kovmat]

Need some help finding a Radiator for my Hybrid. The GN Radiator is too wide to fit, it has a 26" core and I only have 26" between my front fender wells. So I need to find another option. I found this radiator that is 20.75 wide. It is for a 3.8 Turbo Regal. If I use this and a separate oil cooler, will it be enough to cool the engine? My engine is mostly stock, I plan on a 3" down pipe and maybe upgrade to a TA 49 or TE 44 Turbo down the road.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Matt

Your best bet is probably to contact the manufacturer of the radiator and ask them about its cooling capacity. Most of us aren't driving hybrid LC2 cars, you could ask in the Hybrid forum about what other radiators people are using in different cars, but other than that it's hard to say yes or no. I would not feel comfortable without contacting the company and asking them if the radiator will be sufficient for the project.

Check out the dimensions of an f-bod radiator. When I put mine in I had to make a brace cause it was a little smaller, if I remember right.
