Ebojonson Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Hey guys ive been trying to find out whats best to use in place of the rad out my monster. S2 chasseys s3 body and isuzu lump mated to i assume landy gearbox. To be honest it looks like it was someones prodject and it came into my mates work to be crushed and i bought it back its a galvy body and chasseys and the isuzu lumps knackered. So basically repaired the lump but the rads totaly shot and im needing a replacment. Any help or suggeations would be greatly appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 A S3 rad would probably be a decent start, although that depends how the pumbing lines up. My standard answer is use a tape measure and root round the scrappy for one that's in a car of similar power and looks like it'll fit.

Gazzar Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 And, if needs be, get it re-cored with a larger surface area. Though I don't think the Isuzu diesels run all that hot. G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtydiesel Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 A 200 tdi Rad has the outlets on the right side for the 2.8 Isuzu, and has more than enough cooling capacity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill van snorkle Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 You don't say what part of the world you are from EboJonson. From memory I recall that the 2.8 Isuzu engine is a bit shorter than a 200tDI so if you live in warmer climes than the UK then a good fan shroud is just as important as radiator selection. Even my mighty 2.25 petrol engine got too hot after I mounted the rad further forward without modifying the fan shroud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebojonson Posted November 27, 2013 Author Share Posted November 27, 2013 Thanks for the input boys ive got my mate looking out for a 200 rad. Im from just outside edinburgh in scotland so cooling shouldnt be too much of a issue ill just need something to hold water lmao. Itll mainly be used for short road journeys / towing with a few days a year spent up the bing so shouldnt ever be under too much load. You guys got alot of experience with the isuzus? I bought it to replace my 300tdi discovery I cant wait to actualy drive it as its been getting bits n bobs done for the last three months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
