M2/S14 - what radiator is this?

[jimk]

Sure CR Racing rad.  I reviewed their drawings and made changes to my liking.  2 pass crossflow.  Engine is in stock location, no hacking the front, it's bigger than the hole but was dictated by the available cores.  Shell out some corn to pay for one!  No use cutting an expensive engine installation cheap on the rest of the job.

Darn that red car is clean.

Very nice indeed Jim!  If I wanted to replicate your design, do you have a P/N or order number I could reference when talking to them?  Looks like you got rid of the distributor and cut the passenger side coolant pipe shorter as well, correct?  Think it would fit with the stock ignition set up, or is it too crowded in that spot otherwise?

My order no was: cc_k1127_74_bmw_2002_s14_R2_050815

 

Paul has the dwg on file per his latest correspondence 05/18/15.

 

If you come to Denver and want to take a look, let me know.

 

The water manifold was shortened, I have the chunk removed somewhere for reference.  The distr may fit if it doesn't need any more forward room than the tip of the waterpump hub.  I made sure there is room to pass a fan belt between the radiator and pump hub or you are in deep doodoo if a belt need changing. 

 

An acquaintance on the west side of Denver metro has a custom metal shop did my welding.  He also did my crank trigger wheel and relieved the airbox to clear the brake booster.

You can get a plastic wrap of a snazzy compartment and stick it on from fender to fender.

dizzy will fit.  it does not protrude beyond the nose of the WP pulley.  even with the pulley properly shortened. 

 

the instructions for and amount needed to cut out of the water manifold are in my build thread and in Lee's M2 thread(I think)

Very helpful.  Thanks Jim and Marshall!
