Getting Right Heatercore

CheeseBall · 02-15-2003, 05:12 PM

Ok I think I have found the heatercore I want. It is the 2-257. But when I went into NAPA (cheaper than autozone on this one), and they showed me the core it looked more like the 2-256. So what is wrong here? Could the pics on heatercore4u.com be backwards? Or what? I just want the one pictured for the 2-257 link...

Also, when they list the heatercore being 8x7x2, is this the total measurement from outside to outside on all demintions? Because if it's any biggir it won't fit. (of course I will measure it before I buy it)

Thanks for any help...

NAPA.com shows the right heatercore w/ the number 2-257, so maybe there was some difference between the years and wether I told them S10 or full sized blazer... But looks like checkers is the cheapest so the only help I would need is: can the heatercore be larger than the listed size of 8x7x2?

8x7 is the area of the fins only, the top and bottom tanks aren't included in that measurment, so its prolly not gonna fit.

peace.

Well, crap. I dunno what I am going to do now. The max height I can fit is 8.25". And my fan is 172mm. So I don't want go under 6 3/8 on anything. And I can't find a heatercore which will work!

I need one 6.75-7x7x2. And the barbs pipes need to be in the right place.

Nice to see I'm not the only one with a DIESEL sized fan (Mine's a Rotron 171mm) Pulling ~100CFM at only 5volts!! I've got an 86' Chevette heaterCore which fits the fan PERFECTLY, try looking at the Chevette cores, they are REALLY nice and cheap.

These look like they will be a pretty good fit, although a small heatercore, it will dissipate a few watts...

You also could consider this HC, it you cut off the top barbs, solder on a plug, and solder on whatever adapters you want on the front of the tanks....

Good Luck,

Go for the 2-261 aka 399069 aka chevette heatercore, I got mine for $16.99 from autozone it measures 8 x 6-1/2 x 2 total (see above link for pic)

CheeseBall · 02-17-2003, 09:37 PM

Wow, thanks for all the help. I would have never thought the chevette heatercore was 8" tall.

Oh and by the way. My 172mm fan is a Sanyo Denki Dyna Ace 12V fan. It is moves 149CFMs at only 36dB!

how quiet?

Umm, it really doesn't make any audible noise at all, you can hear the air being pulled in if you're ear is up really close, but other than that, I'm trying to find a way to quiet down the PSU fan, it's louder than it should be and I have 2 92mms on the sides pulling out air from the case (which takes load off the 171mm, like it needs it? lol) and there's another 92mm on the bottom of the PSU...

HEY! It's good to see another A7n266-C'er! How do you like your board? I've managed to get mine maxed at 181FSB, wish they would have thought about them stupid ON BOARD jumpers?!!

Good day
