TTA Aluminum Radiator

[Red C5]

Occasionally we get calls for TTA radiators. I'm curious what you guys are doing for replacement radiators? Recore, cross over from another car, etc? I'm thinking about making a factory replacement aluminum radiator for the TTA. Not really sure if there's a market or if it's already covered. Any input would be appreciated and could be beneficial to all TTA owners. Thank you.

I recently upgraded mine to this one from summit racing. I have a front mount intercooler and was having some overheating issues. This cured it and fit perfectly and didn't break the bank.

Had a BeCool and it didn't work very well with a front mount and AC here in Houston. Trying to find something better...would be glad to be your mule if you need one Peter.

Thanks Kyle. It doesn't really seem like there's a demand for them but I'd be happy to look into it. If you like you can send me some pictures and dimensions. We might have something that will crossover or our dual fans might be of help. peter@alradco.com

I don't understand? I just put a radiator for an 89 GTA in my TTA, I thought they were identical.

Id be interested. What were asking these radiators to do with this amount of HP is rediculous.

my car runs pretty cool with the tony front mount but .. its old so prolly wouldnt hurt to replace it

especially with no big grill like the buicks have!

Tru dat.
Check out this mod I did to my other TTA to get more air to the rad. 3/4'' aluminum spacers and remounted the plastic in the middle section of the rad. No motor in the car at the time.

I'd be happy to do a run of them but to keep costs down we would probably need to do at least 15-20. Let me know what you guys think. If there's no need, no big deal. If there is a need for an American made replacement at a very reasonable cost, count us in.

To move forward I would need someone to send us their stock radiator. I'll also have some fitment questions so would need input there. Basically the goal would be to make a direct drop in radiator and if we can increase capacity a bit that would be a bonus. Target price under $500, hopefully $450.

So if you guys want to get this off the ground, spread the word. Not sure if there are other sites for TTA members, registries, clubs, facebook, etc. Any questions, just ask. Thank you.

Haven't received a stock radiator out of a TTA yet. Once we get one of those we should be able to jump on the project pretty quickly.

Quick update, we've got an original TTA radiator on the way to us. Will update once we get our hands on it. Thank you.
