We did a Subi conversion (ea81) on my son's Beach Buggy some years ago. Used an early Golf radiator mounted on some Brackets bolted to the front
beam. Piping is done in 40mm (I think) Aluminium Tube (to increase the effectiveness of the radiator). We had the tube bent at an Exhaust Shop to
match the outside contour of the Buggy Body (Supasports).The Golf Radiator is fully sealed (except for a "bleed" hose at the top) so we used a
Camira pressurised overflow bottle mounted at the back above the engine as a filling point. This was connected to one of the heater pipes to fill the
system. We fitted a "bleed" on the top of the thermostat housing and plumbed this to the overfow/fill bottle.Later refinements included two other
"bleed" points on the pipes going each side of the body, at their respective highest points. These are vented to atmosphere and are only used when
filling the system. The vehicle has been to Fraser Island, return trip of approx 1500klm,without any overheating problems. Currently it is ungoing an
EJ22 upgrade and we have been advised that the system should cope.
