Installed Boss 550 Stage V and CSF radiator

[Turkish]

Well I installed it up yesterday and ran into a couple snags, one was missing a fitting for the coolant line from the turbo which charlie at ss quickly called me when he read my post on sf and sorted it out. I should have the fitting on tuesday. The other problem was my intake was just too long and my ps res didnt fit, well today I hack up my aluminum accordian replacement peice and now everything fits like a dreams, here are a couple shots. Not up and running yet still waiting on that fitting. Lemme know what you knuckle heads think.

I have more pics that I took yesterday, if anyone who doesn't surf sf didn't see them yesterday. Just ask and I will post the rest up. Btw it is a 58 trim big shaft. I love this CSF radiator btw!

I think you're going to have a fast Mkiii! Looking good, Turkish!

I have a question about that CSF radiator. How small is the filler neck? It looks like you could just snap it off. Or, is it just the pics?

I may be able to snap it off with a hammer? Lol it looks pretty sturdy to me.

put more persoes on the system plus it's just not needed plus if you have so bad hose you can get leak easyer and on rad that big it will never get that hot any way


the only reson you pop thous sucker's on is to bring up boiling point or if you have bad hg and want to keep the coolent in


ps i have the same rad and i can drive around with no fan at all and that was in the summer

Thanks Nash, all my hoses are pretty much new, I'll run it for a week with the 15 pounder see how it does and switch to the stock see how it does then choose which one I like better. I am pissed off because I woke up today at 8am to work on the car some more, tighten up some hoses ect and wtf it had rained. It hasn't rained in Cali in friggin months but it rains today out of nowhere and no more rain is expected any time soon wtf. :3d_frown:

umm.....the stock rad cap i believe is 1 bar. 1 bar = 14.something pounds.

15psi is fine.

It is actually a 16pound cap, any reason not to run it?

 

[yalc]

yeah wondering the same thing about the cap seeing as i just got mine from fedex today and ready to install it..

If the rest of the cooling system is fine (hoses heater core and so on) no reason not to run it!
