WTB: Radiator/Silicone Radiator Hoses/Radiator Cap

Hello,

Man...if its not one thing its another...

I have an 05 STI...I need some parts to take care of an overheating issue.

I want to check locally before ordering...if you have:

1) Aluminum Radiator (Koyo or Mishimoto)
2) Upper and Lower Silicone Radiator Hoses (Black or Red)
3) Radiator Cap

Please pm me with prices if you have any of these items laying around.

Thanks,

Brent

Brent, you should grab a tactrix cable and change your fan settings! I would start to overheat in traffic every day until I did that, check it out.

^^^Thanks Ryan,

Yeah...I think my fans are turning fast...checked that out.

My problem is that my car has Perrin Fuel Rails and upgraded SS fuel lines...with that, the cooling system was modified, the previous owner took the top coolant reservoir (the one closest to the turbo area) off...and routed the line directly from the block to the turbo...

I need to reinstall the top coolant reservoir (I will probably have to reinstall it somewhere else and reroute all the lines). I believe the lack of the top coolant reservoir is allowing air pockets to develop within the system causing issues.

Brent you may also want to look into upgrading to some 10in. generic fans (oem's are 8in). I bought mine from Rons when I did my swap and two 10's will fit perfectly (slightly off centered). after doing some logging and comparison to my old setup I was running cooler than with the stock fans. on top of that I saved a little bit weight up front since the oem's are heavy.
