Car is a 93 Cobra. It has a V-2 Vortech blower installed. The car rips but it runs hot. I want to replace the Radiator and waterpump. Who knows the best parts to run on this car. It is a daily driver and i'm looking for upgraded parts. I'm looking into an aluminum radiator and electric waterpump. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

A large 2 row aluminum radiator, SN 95 e-fan, DC Control, and if you must run an electric water pump, Meziere.

Also, where do you live? This will tailor recommendations.

Be sure you have a real gauge to make determinations from.


Good luck.

cobra pump /pulley is best mechanical you can run, IMO. Upgrade the stocker radiator, run elec fan and a bottle of water wetter Result: never reach 200 F

On my 93 cobra I run a Fluidyne (how ever you spell it) rad, summit high flow pump, stock pulley and an electric fan. I have no problems at all.
