V6 aluminum Radiator
V6 aluminum Radiator
I am in the final process of starting up my swapped motor, but I've seen some members with after market all aliminum radiators (non-black), and so now i'm on the hunt for one! I've searched around online and most sites come up with 4cyl radiators. I dont know if they are the same as the V6(demension wise). Or if they are PnP, some are missing the coolant filler neck. Any help, or leads to one, I will be for ever thankful!!

Re: V6 aluminum Radiator
I'm pretty sure the 4 cylinder is different from the v6. If I remember correctly the top and bottom hoses are on opposite sides from one to the other. Size wise I believe they are the same but the connections are different.

Re: V6 aluminum Radiator
Rockauto and autopartswarehouse have OEM replacements - some are all metal. These things are getting rare. I know that Probe and MX6 radiators can be made to work.
You'll have to adapt an all aluminum "racing" radiator to fit. Take dimensions off OEM, orientation of inlet and outlet. Search worklogs for other turbo projects.

Re: V6 aluminum Radiator
626 and mx6 v6 rads will work, you just need the T union to run the lower hose for the expansion tank and the longer lower bypass hose. You can get by with cutting the existing hose and inserting the union or get the proper hoses. If you cant find a donor car, the part numbers are:
KL56-15-189 and KL56-15-185 for 2 lower hoses
KL01-15-197 for union
KL01-15-184 for lower bypass hose
KL56-15-189 and KL56-15-185 for 2 lower hoses
KL01-15-197 for union
KL01-15-184 for lower bypass hose

Re: V6 aluminum Radiator
4-cylinder radiators will fit, since chassis is the same, but radiator hoses are opposite those on the v6's. I know the MX6 v6 radiator is just a little bigger than the MX3 radiator and can fit, with a little work. I set my old mx6's radiator in to test the fitment, but decided to get an all-metal one from radiatorworld.com. I don't think they operate anymore though.
The atx radiator is different from the mtx radiator, but the atx radiator will work for a mtx car. You just have a little lower fluid capacity. This isn't a problem. I'm on my 5th year with that all-metal atx radiator (the only one they had for v6), no problems at all, and summers are rough here.
I don't think it was aluminum though, I can check tomorrow.

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Re: V6 aluminum Radiator
I have a custom 2 row all aluminum radiator in mine, complete with shroud and high flow fans. I payed around $250..I'll take a pic and let u guys see. When I see how much some of these other rads go for in other cars, it makes me think it's a rip-off. I can get one made for a v-6, same price.
Re: V6 aluminum Radiator
I have put mx6/626/ probe gr rads in mx3 gs' with a little mod to the top part where the cap is. I've also put the auto rads in manual mx6s after just dumping out the auto trans fluid. You can find an aluminum rad in mx6s/ 626s/ pgts fairly often at the wrecker I know I do. Get those things for $20-30.
