BusaDude Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 I have a 2007 Short sand car with the stock dual motorcycle radiator's mounted in the engine bay. I am having overheating issues so I have installed a new GM aluminum radiator up high behind the seats. I am not sure where to connect the line from the engine block where the thermostat is located. There is a the radiator hose connection and another smaller line which is the same size as the overflow line. It appears to be pressurized as it flows slowly once the engine warms up. Do I need to feed this back into the radiator? If so, which side. Inlet or Outlet? Appreciate the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunefreak Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 When I had my Busa SSC, it was tee'd into the upper radiator hose. This is the only pic I could find that shows it. Pretty sure it's the same line you are referring to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusaDude Posted November 2, 2015 Author Share Posted November 2, 2015 I believe that solves my problem. It also saves me the trouble of welding on a new nipple on the radiator.. Thank you for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
