G30 continues to evolve (post 4.5)

It has been 18 months since the last post was posted unnoticed. During the process, we encountered repeated epidemics, the previous modification shop withdrew from the market, and the exploration of parts and components. There are also various trivial matters delayed. I finally handed in the rest of my homework today.

Auxiliary radiator on the right

The master didn’t refer to the installation drawings, but just opened the one on the right.

The original empty space on the left

The empty space on the left had actually been reserved for card slots, and in the end, there were a few extra parts that could not be used. But the original car is made of iron, and the 550 parts ordered are aluminum alloy. For Virgo, I also ordered the aluminum alloy on the right side to replace the iron.

This is an aluminum alloy lower bracket

This lower bracket was bought according to the parts drawing, but this is not an essential part. If you want to save money, you can buy an upper bracket and radiator directly. You can also buy this aluminum alloy to replace the original black iron car.

installation process

On the left side after installation, the upper bracket is aluminum alloy and the lower bracket is original and black iron.

The water pipes need to be replaced with ones that adapt to the two auxiliary radiators. The original ones cannot continue to be used. This is the key.

When changing the water pipes, part of the coolant in the radiator will be drained.

water connection pipe

Keep connecting the water pipes

After connecting the water pipe, it was necessary to replenish the coolant, which was about three bottles and 1/3.

Finally restore the baffle

Done, left

Finished, same as on the right

In theory, the auxiliary radiator does not need to open the nostrils when running at high speeds, which can reduce wind resistance. When driving at low speeds, the heat dissipation area can be enhanced because of the increased heat dissipation area. The hot weather in summer is about to start, and doing heat dissipation in advance can protect your car.

Okay, this assignment ends here. The most important thing to modify is to satisfy yourself, and the psychological effect outweighs everything else.
