    Radiator's difference from i to e?

    Does the eta use a different radiator than an 'i'?

    I know that the hoses/connections are likely to be in different spots, didn't know about the actual "radiating" part of it. I can work with re-routing hoses and such..

    Pretty sure the only difference is early/late cooling system as far as hoses go.

          Yeah, same pump. The e and i radiators do mount differently, and the i cores are thicker.

            the thermostat outputs are different. the upper and lower rad hoses are switched. overflow tank on other side.

              Actually by the bentley the eta has more coolant capacity than the 'i' but I dont know if that is because of the overflow tank or the radiator. I am pretty sure that the eta radiator more capacity since it has large endtanks, the cores are probably the same though.
