Guest11021209
hey
Guest11021209
can u help me with my radiator problem?
Mark Jones
:
of course, now teh thing with radiators is that it varies with engine size.
Mark Jones
:
Now, what engine do you currently have in your Camaro?
Guest11021209
a 2.8 liter
Mark Jones
:
Well thats just fine then, your radiator is also 2.8?
Guest11021209
i need to know if its possible to use any 2.8 liter radiator for my 1988 camaro
Guest11021209
like if its not the same year?
Mark Jones
:
Yes it is, because a 2.8 L radiator will work with any 2.8 engine
Guest11021209
thank you
Guest11021209
ummm
Guest11021209
so it can be from any model car?
Mark Jones
:
Your welcome, any other questions?
Guest11021209
as long as its 2.8
Guest11021209
?
Mark Jones
:
Well yes, basically, but it does vary with class of car. For example, your Camaro would not work well with the radiator of a 2.8L Mercedes
Mark Jones
:
The main thing is to keep it the same
Guest11021209
thats wat i thought
Guest11021209
so what if it was like a 3.4
Mark Jones
:
Do you know what car your radiator is from?
Guest11021209
would that interfere with the water pressure?
Mark Jones
:
engine of radiator?
Guest11021209
i dont have a radiator yet
Mark Jones
:
sorry, engine OR radiator?
Guest11021209
huh?
Guest11021209
oh
Guest11021209
radiatoe
Mark Jones
:
I mean, 3.4 engine or radiator?
Guest11021209
radiator
Guest11021209
would it interfere with my 2.8 engine/
Guest11021209
the pressure>
Mark Jones
:
Right, well that would be too much water for the engine, which would result in less water pressure and overheating of the engine
Guest11021209
but couldnt i just fill it up like half way so it would be like a 2.8 radiator?
Guest11021209
lol
Guest11021209
then the pressure wouldnt be so high
Guest11021209
or would it blow the valves
Mark Jones
:
Lol, you could do that but then it wouldnt be enough water in the radiator. So basically when water circulates, it would be the same amount of water as a 2.8 but the temperature would be much higher
Mark Jones
:
Which, yes, would eventually result in blowing the valves
Guest11021209
hmmm so that wouldnt work
Guest11021209
lol
Mark Jones
:
No obviously not, lol
Guest11021209
dude youve been so much help
Mark Jones
:
No problem at all, any other questions?
Guest11021209
you dont know how long ive been searching for this info and everyone is too stupid to tell me
Guest11021209
haha
Guest11021209
nope thats it man
Mark Jones
:
Lol, actually I used to have a Camaro, which is why I know

u cant beat that man
Guest11021209
i wanna switch out my 2.8 and put a 350 in it
Guest11021209
then itl be a beast haha
Mark Jones
:
I'll say, but my friend took the car out and wrecked it. Cost too much too fix, so they had to scrap it :-(
Guest11021209
ahhhhhhhhhhhh dude no way that sucks
Mark Jones
:
Wow, I had a 6.1 for mine's but when the time came to fit it, the engine was too big
Guest11021209
i would like cry if i had to see my car get destroyed , especially a 69 camaro
Mark Jones

Guest11021209
well i got a question for ya
Mark Jones
:
Its all good, this IS my work
Mark Jones
:
Shoot
Guest11021209
awsome lol
Guest11021209
u know that the tubo charge how it goes on the exaughst>
Guest11021209
well i was wonderin if it could go on the belt?
Guest11021209
the fans
Mark Jones
:
It goes with the manifold
Guest11021209
yea but will it work on a 2.8?
Mark Jones
:
Now, the thing is, do you know the difference between turbocharger and supercharger?
Guest11021209
cause i dont have a carb
Guest11021209
ummm not really
Mark Jones
:
Look, even 1.3's have turbos
Guest11021209
well one is shaped diff that about all
Guest11021209
lol
Guest11021209
really
Mark Jones
:
well, lemme tell u first, then u decide which one would be better
Guest11021209
so how would i do that?
Mark Jones
:
And, no not just shape
Guest11021209
k
Guest11021209
yea i figured haha
Mark Jones
:
Superchargers pressurize air intake to above atmospheric pressure
Mark Jones
:
Meaning that the air comes alot faster into your engine
Guest11021209
yea
Mark Jones
:
Both turbochargers and superchargers are called forced induction systems
Guest11021209
mhm
Mark Jones
:
The advantage of compressing the air is that it lets the engine stuff more air into a cylinder
Guest11021209
right
Mark Jones
:
More air means that more fuel can be stuffed in, too, so you get more power from each explosion in each cylinder
Guest11021209
yea i know that
Guest11021209
which means faster
Mark Jones
:
The key difference between a turbocharger and a supercharger is its power supply
Guest11021209
hmm
Mark Jones
:
Something has to supply the power to run the air compressor. In a supercharger, there is a belt that connects directly to the engine. It gets its power the same way that the water pump or alternator does
Guest11021209
what is a turbo chargers power supply?
Guest11021209
yea
Guest11021209
wouldnt i have to have the carb for the super charger?
Mark Jones
:
A turbocharger, on the other hand, gets its power from the exhaust stream. The exhaust runs through a turbine, which in turn spins the compressor
Mark Jones
:
No, you need nothing
Guest11021209
yea it spins the fan which turns the rotor which pushes air
Guest11021209
ok
Mark Jones
:
Right
Mark Jones
:
Of course, There are tradeoffs in both systems
Guest11021209
yea i knew that already about the tubo charger but i didnt quite know that about the super charger
Guest11021209
mhm
Mark Jones
:
n theory, a turbocharger is more efficient because it is using the "wasted" energy in the exhaust stream for its power source
Guest11021209
yea versus using creating its own power
Mark Jones
:
On the other hand, a turbocharger causes some amount of back pressure in the exhaust system and tends to provide less boost until the engine is running at higher RPMs
Guest11021209
and wouldnt a super charger be more gas efficient though
Guest11021209
yea
Mark Jones
:
Well they are both the same
Guest11021209
oh really?
Mark Jones
:
See, when you put on any charger, you shouldnt worry about gas
Guest11021209
awsome
Guest11021209
oh ok
Mark Jones
:
Because, in theory, your compressing air, to make room so your car can burn more gas
Mark Jones
:
Get it?
Guest11021209
yea
Mark Jones
:
Also, Superchargers are easier to install but tend to be more expensive
Guest11021209
yea i kinda figured
Guest11021209
and wouldnt i have to get a hood scoop versus the turbo charger
Guest11021209
because its in the exaughst
Mark Jones
:
Exactly
Guest11021209
how much would a hood cost with one u think?
Guest11021209
or could i just cut mine to fit one?
Mark Jones
:
Well you could
Mark Jones
:
I mean thats what I did, since i spent a whole summer learing to weld
Guest11021209
would that be more money though versus just getting one already made>
Guest11021209
tru im learnin right now
Guest11021209
i dont like stick welding so far
Guest11021209
i like the mag or mac welder
