how to cool subaru into beach buggy??

[SANTA100]

Hi
anybody put a subaru into a beach buggy?? or any suggestions as to what radiator(s) and where to put them??

I have not seen this done before on the buggy, no room for a front mounted radiator as used on the beetles.

The body is a daytona swb not sue if this particular style available in UK.

Hi Justin,

Welcome

There's loads of buggies on http://forums.aussieveedubbers.com/ in the non-VWEngine Conversions. Take a look at Pete Woods' & Buggy Brad's

Is there definitely no room up front? I'm not familiar with your type of buggy but I've seen plenty of other buggys with front mounted rads. If that really isn't an option you could fit a rad on each side and reshape your sidepods as ducts, I've seen that done recently on a manxster with subaru engine...

Hi

NO room for anything in the front but maybe a small oil cooler etc.

Yea, the side mounted rad was what I had come up with as well, only concern is how vunerable they would be, as the buggy is used off road (beach) as well as on road.

I also thought about a rear mounted rad, there are several off road buggies running this system, again how practiable this would be for a road buggy?? esp for the rear passengers!!

I will check out the links suggested

Cheers
