Change of radiator

[MetaruBZG]

Hi there ... im driving a 1.3 carbie satria and wana ask the sifus here:

Currently using the stock short single layer radiator, if i want to change to long one like used by 4G15 or 4G92P:

- must change the aircond condenser as well or can use same one?
- can reuse the short radiator fan & casing?

Any help would be appreciated

bro..hmm actually why you wanna upgrade? your current one is spoilt or overheating?

if you are changing just for better cooling i wont do it...your current one is just fine, unless you BOt your engine then maybe need to upgrade.better save money change block to 1.5 or convert engine, or bot the engine.

use jasma aluminium radiator bro...i install it on my bro in law's car, wira 1.3
but must mod the top & bottom mounting as its not a perfect fit...
u need a cutter to cut the rubber mounting, simple as that....& but the long strip with holes (dunno wat u call it, some construction workers use it to tie the pipes, in condo's/apartments),
could get it from hardware shop, u need it cos 1 of the screws holes has a gap bout 1".

Actually i re-bored mine to 1.5 and using 4g15 pistons. Even without thermostat temp will stay like normal and if during noon drive under heavy load temp rises. Then after relax back to cruizing, the temp come back to "normal" temp. Temp also stays same no matter day or night, rain or shine.

ohhh..if thats the case, then you should upgrade ... however im not too sure about the condenser and if you can use back your old casing and fan...
