FAQ's
How well does it cool since its so much shorter than the stock radiator?
Outperforms the stock radiator. Cooling capabilities will noticeably improve over stock.
How do you bolt the stock "puller" fan to this?
The stock puller fan cannot be used with this radiator. 12" universal mount radiator fans can be found very inexpensively to use. ($29.95 at www.siliconeintakes.com FYI). You can even fit 2 of those fans side by side if you feel necessary, however one will work just fine in most applications.
I have an automatic XR, what about the transmission cooler in the stock radiator?
Consider this to be a good opportunity to upgrade your radiator as well as trans cooler. Most auto parts stores sell external transmission coolers for under 30 bucks and will work much better that the stock one thats inside the factory radiator.
I have a 5spd XR an I don't see the lower tube that runs the length of the bottom of the radiator included - where am I supposed to hook up the hose from the bottom of the coolant bottle?
Our radiator is set up to use the much simpler coolant hose routing found on the auto XRs, which has the lower bottle hose "T" into the water pump hose. Easy to fabricate yourself, or if you prefer the cleanest looking install possible check out page 9 here on the BAT catalog: http://64.202.180.37/files/xr4fa.pdf
