WHOA!

It's a lot bigger than I imagined, especially the pump, but it's built like a "brick shithouse". Talk about ruggedized. The radiator is extremely well made and has my favorite Patriot fan on it. It breaks my heart that is had to be made from aluminum. Oh well, perhaps I'll sell it to someone enamored with an all aluminum system. Here's some pictures:

Here's some perspective on the size of this beast!


I'm itching to adapt those 20mm OD pump barbs down to 13mm ID tubing. I'm wary of how my system will behave with such a high pressure pump. What is watertight with an Eheim 1250 may not be watertight with this MD70-RZ pushing it. Gotta go buy get some supper and pick up a new garage door opener. Hopefully, I'll have some time later this evening to play with things.

All I can say is this device is a remote heat exchangers dream come true. Looks like my Camaro Radiator will fit darned near perfectly in place of the aluminum one, assuming it can handle the pressure. New Tygon should arrive tomorrow.

Tim the Toolman would be proud!

P.S. That wire enforced tubing was harder to get off than skinning a cold deer
