- EgoBruise gets a S550 type custom cap-less radiator from DeWitts! Keep the stock Expansion tank / coolant system from a modern mustang on your Coyote, EcoBoost, Godzilla, etc.. swapped Foxbody, with DeWitts cap-delete radiator. Custom tailored for EgoBruise and our EcoBoost swap, DeWitts came through with the perfect radiator.
In this video we go over a lot! talk about the cooling system, show off the new radiator from DeWitts, mount a contour fan and mount the degas / expansion bottle from Radium Enginnering.

Use an overflow tank instead of “spuing onto the ground “
Awesome 😎!!! 👍🏻😎👍🏻👊🏻✌🏻
👍👍
Looking good
I’m in Florida and it has been raining for the past three months every day.
I got a window AC for my garage so I can work it in while it’s hot.
So lol I need to try this, so I dont bitch about the heat all summer. I tried this in the past but didnt have a circuit that could hanldle the AC's amps with my power tools, welder, etc...or even just the AC itself. I do now. Have a dedicated 25 amp circuit...but sold the AC.
27:20 black.....I know you are just mocking up the cooling system, I think the fan and tank hardware would look better mounted with black hardware. Heads bolts forward and nuts aft. Maybe even using black acorn nuts.
I agree man, all black all the way I think. Looking for black hardware is a great idea,
52 days of 100 degree plus my area of Texas! It has slowed me down as well. That rad and degas bottle is perfect! Nice work!
Yessir! Ready for fall
Great content 👍. I really like that electric Power steering pump set up
It seems to be a very cost effective way to get rid of the stock engine driven P/S pump plus You free up a bit of horse power and clean up the front of the engine . Keep thinking 🤔 out side of the box ! Best Wishes
Please keep Us updated on Your project ! Thank You . 🇺🇲🇵🇷🦊👍
You bet! thanks man I appreciate that
Is that Volvo power steering pump compatible with hydro boost? Thanks
I’ve heard it does, yes. Guys use these for hydroboost brakes and power steering
@@HOUSEOFDULA I've heard those pumps are really loud.
You Mentioned originally the car was getting hot at low speeds so I don’t understand how the air damn fixed the issue. If it’s still getting warm at low speeds and stop and go there’s still issues. Fans are probably not up to par or shrouding isn’t correct.
True. Car would get hot at low speeds, but never be able to cool off even at high speeds. The air dam, now over 40-45mph drops the temps as expected, which it was not doing. All in all, my rad is 3", and just likely too thick, with a 3+" intercooler and AC condenser. I need a sh!t ton of fan, likey a brushless one to get through all that. This is about as good as its going to get I think to drive in the summer heat with AC on without spending $$$$$ on a brushless fan setup.
The 79 is a sweetheart of a FoMoCo custom EcoBoost! You sir are a very awesome inspiration for a possible project.
I know this was 5 months ago. It looks like you have room to install the contour fan in front of the radiator and wire it to push air
There "could be" but not now with the AC condenser and intercooler installed.
Can you confirm the air damage was stock on the 87, but not on an 86. If so does the 87 air damn bolt right up to the 85?
85 sorry
Lookin' good.
I just bought the derale 16833 dual fan setup. My 84 was originally a 4 cylinder and it never had that air dam piece. What I did have however is what looks like an air intake tube that ran from the bottom of the front passenger fender up to where the battery would sit under the hood. All my wiring is there now so I guess I’ll be ordering an air dam piece. The town is paving my streets so I haven’t driven my mustang after the derale install. Originally I was using one derale 16 inch and it started getting hot in 80+ degree weather when in traffic but I had no shroud either. One of the little 11 inch fans seems like it moves more air then the big 16 inch. Summer time will definitely make you iron out your cooling system though.
I think you'd be suprised. Black Fox is what changed my mind. Saying basically over 40 yours fans are useless and your at the mercy of that air deflector to do its job.
Nice job. Was waiting for updates. This is coming together nicely. Great info on the air deflector as well. Suffering from 210* temps as well so going to try this out!!
I know! Man, once it gets a little cooler I expect to knock out a ton on the car. I need this car ready by next summer events! ;) We bought 10 acres, I'm fixing up and reforming, etc...and man that is some work lol The deflecter Im embarrassed to admin how much that $25 piece helped. Seems to be around 45+ or so MPH, the temps just normalize. Gets that turbo heat OUT
Congrats on the land. That will consume time for sure. I’ll bet cooler weather will motivate ya….sure does me.
Mike great video Dewitt’s radiators are the best Nothings better than American made have one in my fox body in black race style excellent excellent radiator. The air dam in the front of your car they actually make it in aluminum not sure if you saw that I have one on my car huge difference over the plastic ones love the way you going with the car everything looks great like always great video thank you buddy for sharing
Appreciate it man. No, I didnt know they made an aluminum one. Im not sure id like to hear that scrape as much as I hear the plactic one just going in and out of the driveway
Yes you are right it does scrape from time to time lol. but it doesn’t flex is what I like about the metal aluminum one ..the plastic one is good too but it’s just Flimsy … Mike how can I send you a picture I have one brand new one in the box aluminum one that I purchased for a friend and he never put it on so I can send you a picture of it if you like ?
Mike the name of the company is UPR products
Hey Mike, thanks for the info. Where did you order your air dam for your 86? I’d like to get one too
LMR, I got 3. One for each of my Foxes
I think irs would fit nicely with this build
Oh man would it ever....Ive been lookng...if one comes up cheap Im going to snap it
Lol. Told you so
mmmhmm ;)
Car is looking good Mike!
Apprecaite that!
You do good work man.
Appreciate that Sam
Added a Mach1 chin on my 86, definitely works. Still running the sve radiator and contour fan set. Had to ditch the sve fans with the supercharger and now adding ac they wouldn’t keep up.
Your going to really enjoy that Volvo power steering, I did that conversion this summer.
Dewitt’s is right in my backyard good to know.
Awesome! I want to add one to mine as well, thought it would have a similar affect.
What waist of time with installing d gas bottle i would eliminate it and use 3 core radiator with cap with overflow aluminum bottle.
You do you man lol I sure dont think I wasted my time. But thanks for the positive feedback.
You welcome
So the guys running a front bumper that’s lower than stock or have the air dam mounted to the bumper ( I think to keep air from getting under the car ) - do those provide the same benefit?
Good question. Im no engineer, but i would think so yes, that the low GT bumpers, chin spoiler would add the same benefit. But my car is pretty low, and clearly gets enough air under it to tap heat in the engine bay. A low flat bumper like on the 79 cobra, would in my opinion create that low pressure spot behind it and under the car. Clearly much smarter people engineering this stuff than me because I was a skeptic for years
@@HOUSEOFDULA I can share that adding the plastic air dam as you did does make a big difference. For many years when my car was stock I didn’t have one. But once modified it was necessary to use. Thanks for sharing this video.
Those radiators are expensive man, we need at least 20% off
I do what I can ;)
They are worth every dollar .. Had a overheating problem in my car for the longest time using Chinese junk radiators with turbo built motor everything put one of these radiators in never had a problem in a year and a half
@@jc-qc3yu I get it though! Money is tight these days, but still you have to pay for quality unfortunately
@@HOUSEOFDULA sounds like an excuse my man
@@timweb1510 An excuse for what? You get what you pay for.
I just used an sn95 radiator in mine, no issues at all, used factory sn95 brackets as well, factory sn95 coolant tank and factory sn95 cooling fan.
Great idea! and one I didnt even mention or think of. Fox platform and for this setup. Nicely done.
@@HOUSEOFDULA I had to drill 2 holes in the core support for the factory mount and I used factory mounts for the top and it fit great. Was able to use stock hoses for the 4.6 and use stock coolant reservoir tank. It looks decent for me not being a fabricator.
