Budget EF K-Swap, Part 5: Tuck Radiator for $100!

By Brian Gillespie

Budget EF build gets even cooler. We found our own budget tuck radiator for about $100. Installed and with Radiator hoses and filler neck it comes in at less than $200. Check below the video for a parts list. What’s cooler than a budget tuck radiator? One with a budget fan. Check out the custom brackets for our $24 radiator fan.

We all know the K24 is a tall engine, so we also make a drop radius rod for the Full Race traction bar so it clears the crank pulley even with the suspension under load.

So what did we pay for our custom tuck radiator? Here’s a list of links and prices.

• Mark 1 Rabbit aluminum racing radiator $105
• Lower coolant hose Gates P/N 23368 $26
• Upper coolant hose Gates P/N 23340 $16
• Moroso in hose filler neck $37

Nothing but Hondas. That’s exactly what you’ll find at VTEC Academy.
