Radiator

[CanaryGT]

Which one should I buy?

Im in cali right now and on the way here, she got kinda warmer than I wanted. Im lookin for a new raditor to perhaps solve some of the problems. I hear Fluidyne all the time, but I hear mixed reviews.....

buy an 03/04 cobra radiator. thicker and all aluminum instead of the aluminum/plastic of the GT ones. doesnt work on auto's unless you have the seperate trans oil cooler.

I like my fluidyne :thumb:

finding one off an 03/04 cobra or perhaps buying it new would probably be cheaper.

get yourself some water wetter, lower degree t-stat. if your in a warm climate, increase your water-coolant mixture 60/40. manually wire your fan to a toggle.

Here's some options:

1. Evans NPG coolant, but you'll need to get ALL the water out of the system.
2. Meziere electric water pump
3. Buy a very high pressure cap (can be had from stockcarproducts.com and similar)
4. I think Stewart makes an upgraded pump for the 94-95 now, but I can't remember for sure.


However, you'll probably be fine with what you've got.

Ive heard of that Evans thingie. Sounds pretty nice..... Also, does anyone make silicone hosing for the 94-95 mustangs? Like the Blue silicone hosing from ford racing??

 

[CanaryGT]

Is the Mishimoto a DIRECT drop in? Like the hoses fit perfectly as well??

 

[Paul]

Yep, to my knowledge it's a direct replacement.

I paid $26 per gallon for the Evans NPG, plus it's not very easy to get EVERYTHING out of the cooling system, so it may not be worht it for you.

Black rubber hoses are fine, I wouldn't worry about them. You can change them in another 100,000 miles.

03 Cobra > Mishimoto

nothing fits like factory... and the Cobra is PROVEN to be damn reliable with tons of power
