electryc_monk Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 Okay got a reply back from Griffin Rad so now I have BOTH options to post about. EA82 radiator custom build from A.) local shop and B.) Griffins offical reply Bottom line cost first then details afterwards... A.) $232.50 + tax "If we provide the side tanks for the Cores" * B.) $325-375 (total appearantly includes shipping i dangerously assume at this moment) A.)Specifics of the design Greg used in calculating the modification is based off the 2 core i showed him that is in the turbo wagon currently. A.) So he was hesitant to reduce the dia of the colling pipes to create a 3 row as it was 2 rows of 1/2 inch pipe. Well, the 3 3/8 inch pipes in the stock measured core area calculated up to a 15% increase in colling capasity. This with a 16" fin count(that part of "fin count" is my only iffy info). Here is the cost analysis that Gregs shop will do for us: Core $140 is his cost if we minimum 5 of them at 157 each and the $75 labor with our supplied tanks thats how he can do it at that price. For some reason I am remembering that if he had to order tanks from then it'd be like $60 ber set or something absurd like that. Thats why he was suggesting getting a bunch of junkyard core's and that way he could also attach the bolting mounts for the fan scroud and factory bottom pegs(feet). Thats fine by me I found half a dozen ole single cores in yards around her easily but eh.... So folks I gotta run to the Discount tire shop and so from memory these are those that wanted an update when it was figured out: Calebz (now mostly local texas friend) Okamiichiban (bigtime lurker AKA local denton texas friend) Mudrat79 ?Subaru3? (AKA old school subies in Tx) ? ? ? ? ? me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
