Brumby Boy Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 I have been pondering the idea of putting the ER27 into my brumby/brat ever since i saw subarubrats brat, however i was woundering if i could do it without a lift, is there going to be enough room to fit the rad between the engine and bonnet without the lift? or would i have to "adjust":rolleyes: the bonnet?

Jerry DeMoss Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 Not too sure on that one.You may just have to put a big WRX or STI scoop on there to make more room.Just kidding.I really think it would fit just may be a squeeze up near the front.

Gravityman Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 I am almost positive that you will need to put at least a 3 inch lift on if you plan on putting a rad on top of the engine. As it stands the ER27 is already taller then my EA81 and the EA82. So just the ER27 swap in will be a tight fit. With the TMR you also have to add the length of the hoses into the rad. I would say 3in min with the top mount radiator (TMR) but I belive that subarubrat started with a 6" lift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumby Boy Posted November 10, 2005 Author Share Posted November 10, 2005 yeah i was just curious, i was thinking that i would have to get my lift or get a huge bonnet hump then a scoop n that would look rediculas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joostvdw Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 maybe you can place the rad in the back of the brat? with some protective bars and so over it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subarubrat Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 One fellow in Oz did just that and it came out nice. I don't know if the ER27 would fit without lift but I suspect it might. With a 6 inch body lift the ER27 fit in mine with enough room to handle the radiator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeEyedBandit Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 In my 84 wagon I had no lift with the radiato on top of the engine, it did fit but was really close to the engine. So then it went in front of the it all, but looked funny, so now it is going to the back. Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
