Yoo I am on the hunt for a radiator in te size 20x20x? cm it can be smaller but not bigger i know that some cars got that size radiators (in the heater pakage) so anyone know of a car that got one? http://dtekcustoms.safeshopper.com/images/br0rxooh.jpg this is exactly what i need but it is to expansive for me to order from there so anyr suggestions?
I have read elsewere that the core used by DTek is the same as that from a vauxhall chevette which is 175 x 186. I have got the one from the Vauxhall Cavalier 1981-1988 which is 168 x 182 with 16mm barbs. Serck gave me a copy of their manual for all of the heater cores that they do, so the measurements should be right. The guy at Serck recond that the Vauxhall Astra 1984 - 1992 sized 168mm x 182mm should also be a good core to use. If you have a car in mind, let me know which one and I can give a brief description of it and the sizes for you.
ok i want a radiator in the size tha dtek got ((with tanks) are 6"W x 7"H X 2"Thick). if it is a vauxhall then what modell is it?..
Yes mine does look simular to the dtek but with sides. I have got a photo of it and will email it to you. The astra is more compact and with barbs coming straight out of the top verticley.
go to ur local auto parts store and ask them for a heatercore book, itll have all the measurements u need...their usualy around $20....then like 5 for fittings and then another 3-4 for some jbweld
Use a heat exchanger (heater matrix) from a car. The bit thats used to warm the interior of a car as its more compact and efficent than the standard radiator in the engine bay.
Vdub I do believe they are revering to the heater matrix as opposed the the actual Engine rad. But a valid point
