    88 GT radiator problem

    i cannot find a proper radiator for my GT anymore. try Performance Radiator they only have the one for B6 engine only. not the B6T
    and if i've to go to the dealership it's gonna cost me $500+ for the rad itself
    help! is there any other vehicle's rad that i can use with the GT setup?

    thanks

        Ive heard civic rad as well. Im gonna give that a shot. A radiator is a radiator as long as you can make it fit and the fans to work properly.

          not true... me and my friend tried to cool a turbocharged 302 with a festiva rad and it didnt work that well lol... the fan was on the whole time and it just kept heating up... the rad couldnt transfer enough heat to the air to keep the water cool lol...

            Yeah I could def see that! A boosted 302 with a Festiva rad?.. A Festiva came with a 1.6 sohc motor. Pretty big difference there. lol

                  I have an extra B6T radiator I could part with. It's dirty, but works perfect. PM me if you're interested. I don't even know what to say for a price.
