Wondering Nomad Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Which radiator do you think is better for an RB26 swap? Northern Radiator 24 X 19 1 1/2" tubes $328 or Griffin Radiator 24 X 19 1 1/4" tubes $280 Or the Ron Davis radiator from McKinney Motorsports. I think it's over $400. It's time to start finding some of the major components for my swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMWHYR0HEN Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 well if the RB26 coolant in/outlet are on the same side, just like the RB25, then pick up a PRC or afco double pass radiator. I got mine for 200 bucks shipped. dimentions are : 24 x 19. 3'' thick I can show you pix if you like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stony Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Doesnt look like there were any issues looks like it fits good and the double pass is perfect for the RB as it puts inlet and outlet on the same side as the motor and is less of a pain to make the hoses. Do the angle brackets come allready welded on or did you have to do that yourself for the install? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMWHYR0HEN Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 I have the same Rad. Your on your own when it comes to mounting. 4 L brackets and a tig and your good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondering Nomad Posted May 8, 2006 Author Share Posted May 8, 2006 Sorry for the bad picture' date=' but you'll see a better one later... This is a 22x19 Griffin Radiator on my RB25DET [img']http://gripjunkies.larrychendesign.com/misc/Radiator.jpg[/img] The Griffin part number from my initial post should be that exact radiator. At least that's what I found after you send me those pictures a few weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
