will the stock ka24e radiator hold up for track events?

[s13irdie2]

hey
im wondering if the stock radiator will hold up for track events. i was thinking about buying a koyo one but im really tight on money right now. should i get my sway bar and seat first, or go safety and get the radiator. thanks

with ka.. its not necessary.. not nearly as necessary as it is on a turbo car..
i was racing my ka24de for a while.. it was fine.. just make sure u keep the stock clutch fan w/ shroud

for endurance racing i'd get one :x:
for short bursts like autocross or drift day style events, don't bother.

make shure you replace your thermostat, Mine recently broke in the closed position, causing my radiator to blow, and the car overheated, causing me to loose my head gasket sucks when a part so cheep does so much damage :bash:

Stock KA radiator is fine. After many events in Texas summers, I advise you to keep the clutch fan and shroud, and you'll be just fine...

stock clutch fan and shroud works better than aftermarket electric fans?

depends on the fans
its all about ducting!

i just got my thermostat replaced a few months ago. how often do you have to change it? also, do the aftermarket thermostats make a big difference? thanks

You can get a 3 row bronze radiator that has the same hose locations out of a 280z I believe. Research that a bit

depending on what you are doing it should be alright. and if its only the mods you have listed it should be alright. good luck
