I see alot of people placing them in the trunk, what do you think about placing them behind the rear bumper with duct work? so it uses lower air from under the car, id obviously make some deflectors so the rear tires don't kick anything into it
reason #3 - could you explain more about why it takes longer to overheat ? why you have more volume of liquid than the regular front radiator and what does it have to do with that great informative content ! I was looking for info about rear radiator and it helped me cool stuff bro
A front mount radiator is almost always going to be better for cooling since it gets dramatically more airflow at 50+ MPH than what even the best electric fans can provide. It will also get much better water flow since it won't have to flow through such long pipes. The heat in the engine compartment has no effect on how well the radiator works because it is cooled by ambient temp air from the front of the car, not hot air from the engine compartment. Yes the longer pipes will add extra thermal mass and will therefore take slightly longer to warm up, but the difference isn't dramatic and it will still eventually get just as hot. More thermal mass also means it will take longer to cool down, but again the difference isn't dramatic. The one scenario where a rear mounted radiator may cool better is if there isn't enough room in the front of the car to fit a large enough radiator for the application and the rear mounted radiator is much larger than the front mount radiator could be. Not that this setup can't work well, it can in some applications like drag racing. However, if I was going to be pushing the car for any length of time in 100+ degree heat such as endurance racing, I would much rather have a front mount radiator.
Does It make the temps in the cockpit hotter?? Or cause driver fatigue from heat stress?? Or is it pretty good about all the heat getting pulled out the back??
b3 motorsports with a firewall and ducting between the rad and passenger compartment, there’s no noticeable heat increase from the radiator. You get more coming through the firewall. That’s why I’m wrapping mine with reflective heat wrap.
Can you do a video on how you routed the piping for rear mount radiator please?
came here for the same reason haha
When he said "Reer Meownt Raeraror"
I felt that
I love this idea!
This would also be a good reason to make functional side scoops for a Mustang!
I did side naca ducting on my Gto for my rear radiator and it worked pretty well.
I'm doing one in my pickup for towing! It's a great idea. Putting it in the rear keeps the heat away from the engine
How did it go @iamn360? Any pics?
Thank you very much!! I was insecure about swapping a VR6 into a small car. Now I'm sure it will work!
Makes sense! That is such a beastly build! I can't wait to see it in action!
More to the point, why do you have a LS in a Mustang??
Cuz its better and more affordable
That's the only way to make a Ford fast bud! Ford tough with Chevy stuff.
Swapping a LS into a Mustang is like throwing out all your silverware and just using plastic sporks from Taco Bell.
Maybe because it was a V6 originally
I’m thinking about doing this to my rb25 swapped s13. Can you go over the ducting and how the rear was cut?

Are you having to run a secondary water pump? Or is the stock pump capable of handling this? (You mentioned a pump in the cost).
its part of the setup.. a external pump is needed to help build pressure for the distance of travel.

More volume requires more time for thermal exchange. Downside is that it takes longer to warm up to operating temperature.

@0:56 what if the car is fwd
2:42 there tis
ear flow
Do the rings in your ears give you balance?

I’m off-road and I’m going to rear mount for damage prevention.... that’s after I’ve wadded up to radiators already 😞
Looking good!
What radiator do you run?
6 earflow
5:09 15.000$ or 1.500$??
Aswome as always
Why do drifters these days look like they belong in a band... oh cuz they dont make bands anymore and they gotta join somethin
Its not preventing damage if someone rear ends you😂😂😂😂😂😂
