I just put one in my car and now my temp is higher than normal. I have a slim 10" fan on it and when I am at idle the temp is normal, its when I start cruising that it starts going up.

Anyone have experience with this?

Thanks

 

You have air in the system, or the over flow tank is low.

 

did you put a radiator funnel on it and let the car heat up till the thermostat kicks on??

do it...

put the funnel on..let the car come up to temp...and rev the engine ( in neutral parked ) so it gets hot..let it bubble ..see if it takes fluid ...and till it does not bubble anymore...

cap it...

 

i agree that theres probably air in the system or fluid level is low. david is running the small rad on his personal car if im not mistaken and hasnt had any problems with it. good luck

 

Wanted to bump this thread because it's the only one I can find with the Buschur Mini Radiator in it..


Has anyone run this radiator on a daily driver? A real daily driver car, and what is your location in the US?

I am in Charleston, SC, and was wodering if this would be OK to run with out slightly hotter weather here.

Only TRUE daily drivers, how is it working with your car?

 

david buschur runs this rad on his daily driver.

 

I'd say a good test would be some people from Florida, or the southern mid-west states...

 

I am also assuming that he doesn't have any A/C either?

 

I wanted to get the short one and remembered this is my DD not a drag car and I put at least 40 miles a day now, I was also told to stick with the Koyo or stock for DD in S. FL. which makes a lot of sense but if anyone from down here wants to try it you can let us know how it goes

 

Warning - I correct myself I have a BR HTA 35r and the Koyo radiator does not fit you have to use the factory or a mini (not recomended for DD I'm told)
found out yesterday the hard way from what I see I guess only a 16g or a 20g will fit since the Koyo is like double the width, anyone correct me if Im wrong

 

bumpping this up for some info on this radiator. Wanted some input from 100% daily drivers with A/C usage...

 

I think that CBRD has a narrow aluminium radiator available now that might be another option for those who can't fit 35R kits with a Koyo.

 

Correct me if i'm wrong but does dave's DD Evo an RS (meaning no A/C). Further too, it might not effect the temps but he only runs c16 race fuel.

Food for thought.

 

ours definetly fits

+1. Anyone tried it yet???

What fan do we use Chad, I have the slim fan from Buschur Turbo Kit.
