Advantage/Disadvantages of moving the radiator to the back?

[Nick M]

Is there any disadvantage you can think of to cutting my hands off and having them sewn back on to my stomach.

The advantage is I don't have to bend down to grab something. I can't think of a reason not to do it though.

You could join the circus ::dunce::

do yourself a favor, and research what people do when the mount the radiator in the front when swapping a watercooled motor into their VW bug, a car that was aircooled to beging with. oh, you forgot one small point, what the fuck do you do with the gas tank in the way of the air, not to mention the dif, axles and driveshaft. you are going too far into thought for something that would add little to no benefit. im sorry bro, im all for innovation, but on this one the cons outweigh the pros. if you are that concerned with cooling, buy a koyo (or similar) get some hardlines, run a good coolant, get a block off plate and a fan shroud

Hahahaha @ this guy arguing with IJ.
This might just be one of the most extremely impractical ideas I've heard yet.

 

[AF1JZ]

I say do it...and we'll all be waiting patiently for a "Help, I blew my engine cause I was retarded and moved my radiator to the back".

Seriously dude, think about it and how much is involved and how there would be little to no advantage.

8mm LOL.
Man that was priceless.

 

[adampecush]

Not being a cock or anything but are you challenged in any way?

Yes, and I misread my tape measurer.

THAT was priceless.

 

[Piratetip]

Yeah that too

 

[GeneStarWindGSW]

well i think this is one of those times when you should just say you did something & lets not?

if not just get the radiator & mount it to the back & say the jobs done & run the piping thru like under the car :hsugh:.

omg This thread rules! IJ that was the funniest shit I have read in a while.

As for this thread, Do you have an engine that would reap the benefits of the rear radiator? If not, then build an engine that can first.

 

[Poodles]

that 240 was setup in such a way in that a rear mounted radiator worked well

it's a full race car, tube frame chassis, ect...

on a daily driver...HELL NO, it's kinda like that idiot that had turbos in the cabin of his car...

Link?

 

[Poodles]

it was like a galant or soemthing, he had twin turbos or something in his car where the passenger sat

it was retarded to say the least...

 

[oscolivar1]

I know what he's talking about it was crazy!

 

[figgie]

Yes, and I misread my tape measurer. The total lenth of the tape measurer is 7.5m and has that printed just above where I was reading the diameter. I took it for 7.5mm.



Why so?

They run them inside the car for NASCAR?

are you fucking insane.

running ANY type of automotive fluid inside the cabin of a car is against regulations in

FIA
SCCA
IMSA
NASCAR
NHRA
WRC

and the list is endless.
