Radiator without AC condenser

MadBarber · 03-23-2013, 11:43 PM

Hi guys, does any one knows who makes radiators that doesn't have the AC condenser in the front. I don't really need the condenser as I'm going to remove the AC anyway. I thought it would also be more efficient without it. Please point me to the right direction thanks.

No one! Sorry

You'd have to buy a CSF and cut it off
Talk to Baer383, I THINK he had one or modded his old one

GTM has some 60mm and 70mm "racing radiators" on their site, which I assume wouldn't have condensors built in (and some new fans and shrouds that fit the car and those radiators as well). You can always look up a local-ish custom radiator mfg as well, they're not that uncommon and not that expensive to custom build to whatever size and spec you want.

Wow, thanks for all the quick replies. I'll check with GTM

You can just buy a CSF and unbolt the condenser but you cant buy it without one.

Yeah I was considering that option, it looks unboltable in the photos, but the above mention of "cutting it off" made me think maybe it wasn't just bolted. Has someone else actually removed it?

In any case, though, seems like one should be able to fit more main radiator core than even the CSF unit has, if you ditch the width of the condenser. Those fat GTM radiators look nice, but also look kinda pricey for what they are.

Both the CSF and GTM you will have to modify the shroud a fair amount, the GTM one probably more since it is even larger than the CSF.

I kinda like the GTM one simply because it looks bigger. When it comes to racing, I like my motor as cool as possible. The last time I measured the ground with a thermometer at buttonwillow. It was 150 degree
