121346, Replacing Atx radiator and heater hose question
Posted by dalesmitsu, Dec-28-08 07:34 PM
I'm replacing my radiator,hoses.

I found an Fluidyne 95-99 Non turbo rad from raceinspired.com for 369
Is this the right one for an 97 ATX NT

also is this the hose that runs in front of the VC I'm gonna change this one too condition is bad, so does every 420a I see.

Somebody jump in if I'm wrong, but the only difference as far as I can tell between the ATX and MTX radiator is the ATX is a bit thicker core, the fluidyne advertises it's thicker than a stock core, figure at the least it will be as thick as your OEM core and therefore will be fine. However, depending on your setup, I'd question why you don't just get a radiator from radiatorbarn.com ?

If you mean the metal one that runs in front of the head around the driver side of the motor to a rubber heater hose than I'd say it doesn't look the same although it could be a stock photo. Their description also states it's rubber? Not to mention, that particular line on our cars is welded to the other hard coolant line that runs along side it on the driver side so have fun cutting that to replace. If the hose you're referring to is the one I described and you want a new/better one, PM me, I have one or two spares laying around in the garage that might be in better condition than yours.

Because I need buy new brakes besides a radiator.

Radiatorbarn don't offer brakes.

I'm probably going with maperformance their viseoton radiator, is about same price as radiator barn

be aware that the stock radiator for the atx includes a tranny cooler built into it. The fluidyne and other artermarket ones typically do not include that. So you need to use an aftermarket tranny fluid cooler (and I'd make sure its an efficient one with good cool airflow over it).
Heat + A604 tranny = trouble

The radiator that I bought from radiatorbarn.com has a built in tranny cooler FWIW.
