Radiator swap
-
This summer's travels brought about the most recent upgrade to a more effective radiator for Centurion. Whereas the original plans/setup worked well, this build has continued to push into uncharted territory and some of the "what ifs" should at least be tried.
-
The old radiator is about to be removed here..

The new radiator is an aluminum design for a manual transmission Honda Del Sol and is shown alongside the old one for comparison:

With a bit of an installation angle, it fits well and works superbly! Even in town, there is little need for kicking on the electric fan.

As a side note, the previous thermostat was removed and a 195 deg installed. Temp readings are now very constant in any condition with little variation.
-
That's the latest!
