water overflow tank ? size?

<< < (3/3)

Curly1:
I got a very small Honda radiator off of EBay. It only cost about $65 with fan and it has the transmission cooling on it to. You can get them with out transmission cooler even cheaper. That thing does not hold much water at all but cools very good. I welded AN fittings on it and removed the cap and welded it over.
In my opinion I would get that small radiator and a small electric water pump. Run it anytime the motor is running.  It will not add much weight at all and will help keep car cool and consistent. If I remember right I saved about 35 Lbs over my other radiator that was fairly small and this one cools much better. I think the radiator only holds about 1/2 gallon of water when full then if you use -10 radiator hoses it will not have much water (weight) in there.  I see no reason not to run one.
