How about a sirocco radiator? they're about 13" high, and about 23 inches long. in and out on the same tank as they're a double crossflow.

I talked with a guy from the Meyers Manx forum that's running a modified version of the Griffin Scirocco in his Manxter, up front, with WRX motor out back. He said it cools great, and it appears he's only running a single center-mount fan. He had Griffin relocate the inlet/outlet slightly to better fit the Manxter body. It measures the same as their standard Scirocco 22x13 model on the external dimensions.
I think that's the way I'll be going, but I'm going to see if they'll make up one a couple inches wider. 24" wide x 13" high would be perfect in my case (Deserter GT bodywork).

superRSI is there more done on this project?
I am doing the same thing, different project car... (sterling not manx)

As I am about to purchase my motor, I wanted to understand the difficulties that you have run into. I myself am looking at an 04' front cut from a subi-sti and want to make sure that I am making the correct decision as I have other options (currently running a corvair flat 6, want something lighter, easier to work with...) as such please tell me more about what you've done, run into, had to over come ect....

I have total control over the rear section of the car, so spacing ect. isn't an issue.

Also do you have a site for your project? it seems we are running alot of the same gear (alu-arms 944t brakes ect...)

Please advise.
thanks.

Looking forward to seeing your web page. Personally I find it helps me as much as other people for bouncing ideas around and keeping the momentum.

got my motor...

Gents,
Got my new 05' STI engine.

Issues to overcome & the solutions to the problems.
1. This engine comes with a servo-tronic throttle body. So either hack the Suby pedal cluster for all the sensors and bits or junk it, and use the bug pedals but I need a cable driven throttle body...
2. Throttle position sensor in that throttle body must be 'replaced' with use of bug pedal cluster.
3. extra sensors and bits that will not be needed, figuring those out and removing them?
4. wire harness adaptation to the car (removal of security system/different sensors needed or not needed to be wired in or out of the system...)
5. ECU? Stock v.s. non-stock

1 - solution. Replace 05' throttle body with an older SOHC Throttle Body from a forester 2.5 (cable throttle to replace servo-throttle).
2 - solution. With the above mentioned throttle body a different TP sensor will be used, but must be wired in...making a change to the harness mandatory
3 - solution. Remove all extra bits from the motor leaving only the bare essentials to motor functionality ( debating on the AC system but removing everything else).
4 - solution. Custom fabbed harness to join new throttle and sensors into engine harness.
5 - solution. Use a fully aftermarket ECU that is custom mapped for the new throttle body and its sensors, allows for dyno-tuning and much more 'fine' tuning.

At this point I believe that I will be working with OutFrontMotorSports here in the states to get this all dialed in. They have a strong rep for doing these installs into sand rails. For me the application is similar but I will tune and build for street use. So I am expecting about $2000.00 - ish to overcome the throttle body / ECU dilema, but this will give me a "pretty simple plug-n-play" solution... i hope.

So what are others doing to work with this engine and its unique aspects?
Anyone try to adapt the pedal cluster yet? what are you guys doing about the extra parts that you don't need?

am I on track and making sense?

have I missed anything that someone doing this job already has come up against?

thanks for your time in regards.

Hi

I'm not using that setup, I only posted the link to help you, my STI motor uses an old fashioned cable.

Hi

I have the stock ECU but recently I scored a plug & play Autronic SM4 at a good price. With changes that I've made to the inlet tract and exhaust system it will be good to tune it to suit.

Steve

New to the forum. Ithought this would be a good place to jump in. I put a 2.5in my Spatz buggy about 7 years ago and love it. My new project is a 1957 Fiat 500 that I am putting a STI block/DOHC head/t3-t4 turbo motor in it. Full tube chassis. I have just finished building the engine and trial fitted it.I will start a new thread when I have the car done but I thought I would post a picture of the buggy here. Gotta love those Subaru engines!
