NEW! LFP Racing Radiator Install

NEW! LFP Extreme Performance Radiator Install

Well I got one of the first Extreme Performance Radiators from Mark@LFP so I decided to put together a comprehensive How-To for those of you who might want to look into getting one of these beauties.

I tried to get everything as accurate as possible, but it's been a long day, so if I've made any boo-boo's please forgive me. Also some of the pics are a little blurry, too much coffee and beer I guess. :beer:

Here is the direct Link to the Web Page I created.

nice write up. Notice any difference in engine temps?

 

[BLK03SVT10TH]

Just finished it late tonight, I haven't taken it out for a drive yet, I'm too dirty. I'll let you guys know ASAP.

Great documentation! Pictures weren't blurry at all.

 

[TRBO VNM]

is this radiator any larger than stock? do you have any side by side comparisons? I assume it is since the ABS has to be moved. Is it any thicker?

great write-up.

Nice, in depth write up. Does this radiator work with the LFP Heat exchanger and coolant resevoir???

 

[BLK03SVT10TH]

Yes they do, I've got them both installed. There is a new design for the Intercooler Tank I believe that has a slightly longer bracket on the tank. If you had the older design tank you can re-position the 2 bolt holes to work with the thicker radiator.

Damn....now thats a write-up! Great job!!!

really nice write up!!

 

[Xjman1]

Excellent write up. Any side by side comparison shots of the stock vs. LFP?

 

[I-CAN-STANG]

I can't wait to get mine! When does this become avail.? or is it already?

 

[BLK03SVT10TH]

I forgot to take some pics of the 2 units together, but here are a couple pics I swiped off of ModularFords.Com from the prototype install that was done by another guy.

damn! What an improvement!

Here is what I've noticed sofar as far as Tempuratures, this is by no means a scientific test, just observations while driving.

My normal operating tempurature while in stop and go traffic seems to run about 10 degrees cooler on average, about 195.

I can do a little spirited driving and my tempurature will increase to about 210.

But here is the cool part that my car never ever was able to do. After the spirited driving, if I get on the Freeway and drive normally at 70-75 MPH and I can watch my temperature go from 210 to 180 in about 10-15 minutes and stay there.

Before my normal operating tempurature while driving on the Freeway use to be 210, and higher if I was getting on it, or it was a very hot day, I never ever saw it cool down at all.

Very cool right up! Thanks

 

[adamb258]

Anyone know how much these will be once they are available???

Good info, thanks. My I ask what you are using to monitor coolant temps?

Thanks.

 

[BLK03SVT10TH]

I know it's not exactly ideal or the most accurate, and like I posted earlier, this is not a scientrific test, the Coolant Temp's are being read off of my AutoMeter Lunar Gauge with the Sensor Mounted in the Crossover Tube.

I do plan to do future mods to upgrade the cooling system further (Evans Pump, Water Inlet, etc...)

Did you noticed any change in the IAT2 temperature? What State are you at? BTW great writeup, very informative, bud :thumbsup:

Very nice writeup. Lots of pictures, makes me think just about anyone could do it with that kind of instructions.
