It would appear that most of their evaporator cores run in the
200 to 350 dollar price range. Hope this helps. Paul

A number of guys are
using cores from large, late 80's American cars, such as the Chevy
Caprice. This should be somewhere in the ballpark of 13" x 9" x 3.5",
though exact dimensions are illusive. Anyway, such a core goes for about
$120 at the local Advanced Auto Parts place.
don't want to start
collecting radiators. I will leave that to

Very
funny :-) I'm still working on the rev-2 radiator, and haven't
committed to any particular design yet. I would like to use the cheap, and
available evap cores, but they're just too thick for the space I have available,
especially when you consider that I have a 2" thick oil cooler to add to
the thickness. I'll probably go with the smaller Howe radiator.
Still also contemplating 2 EWP's, vs. 1 ewp and the stock pump. Gotta
figure out what I have room for.
FWIW, I spend yesterday
removing all the items that need to come off for the rev-2 upgrade. It's
just amazing how small the engine is without all that crap in place. The
next step is to fit the new cowl, then start modifying stuff to fit
inside.
I found a bunch of new
cracks in my turbo manifold, which was no surprise. I also found that he
turbo manifold burned off the paint on one of the mount tubes, even though it
had a heat shield, and the tube was wrapped with fire sleeve. The fire
sleeve didn't appear damaged, but the paint below it was burned. The most
amazing thing was the heat insulation wrap that I had on my turbo outlet
pipe. This is the silver stuff, with the high temp fiberglass
backing. It's supposed to be good for 2000 degrees, and seemed to be
holding up well, until I took it off. The heat turned the fiberglass
backing turned to glass- literally. If I handed a piece to someone, let
them feel it, look at it, and drop it to listen to the sound, they would
have concluded that it was glass. Very cool, but not in a useful sort of
way :-)
