Hi All,

I was just wondering about the best placement for the radiator for an EA81 engine.

Attached is a photo of my manx buggy which I have almost completed.

Up the front behind the front bumper.

Yeah up the front for best cooling. MickH's seems to work well!

Nice buggy you've got there. Quick question however, is that rollcage made out of welded together bends? They are very tight.

front front front front!!!!!!! This is the best place for a radiator. As the other have said, put it behind ya bull bar for protection and it will be fine.

Sorry if I seem a bit crazy. There are a few people on this forum who won't listen to common sense.

My radiator is at the back, but it's been a bun fight to get it to work at it's best.

Good stuff going with a subaru. When you get sick of the power of the EA81 motor you can update to an ej22. ;)
