michael5556 247 Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 I am currently making a mk2 vr6 with a smoothed and shaved bay. I have the coolant bottle in the boot along with battery and washer bottle. I have run pipes from the front to the boot but I am needing extra water pumps to help get the coolant to the front. My choices are:Fit electric water pumps and keep hoses to front.Buy a radiator from a fiat or Nissan with a fill up section on it and custom top rad hose.Keep mk3 Vr radiator and buy a filler neck and make custom top hose and fill up that way?

sedge 7 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 I've just put a BMW radiator on my mk2 with the expansion bottle built in the radiator, it's shorter than the vr6 radiators but a little bit thicker so keeps the engine just as cool as the standard radiator did. All you have to do is a bit of custom pipe working and find a way of wiring the fan switch into the system. Looks a hell of a lot tidier than having the expansion bottle in the top right corner.
