ECP USA Line ENTROPY 1997 - 2004 Corvette C5 CUTDDOWN Aluminum Radiator - 6 Speed Manual - Engineered Cooling Products

This is our HD Race Ready radiator for the 1997 – 2004 C5 Corvette with a 6 speed manual transmission made by the USA Made Line of ECP (Engineered Cooling Products) called ENTROPY.

THIS IS A CUTDOWN VERSION FROM THE OEM HEIGHT TO CLEAR SUPERCHARGER PIPES.  THIS RADIATOR IS JUST OVER 2" SHORTER THAN OEM HEIGHT.

Note, if you have an auto, you can still use this however you will need an external transmission cooler setup.

– All aluminum construction MADE IN THE USA  with a heavy duty 1-row core with 2.0″ tube with a high density core that has a higher density core than other high performance radiators.  This has been a proven setup for Entropy Line for 20+ years

– Custom CUTDOWN SHROUD Included

– Fully TIG welded construction with no epoxy.

– Upper hose and lower connection is 1-5/16″.

– Overall dimensions are 28″ wide x 18-7/8″ tall. Core is 24-3/4″ wide x 15-3/8″ high.

* Does not include A/C Condenser Tab Mounts.  This is a race application.

* BUILT TO ORDER approximately 3 weeks.

The radiators has a natural finish and for pictures, has been cleaned with scotch brite and Never Dull cleaner.

ELECTRODE Kit Information:

Engineered Cooling Products Consumable Electrode Kit V2 - The Radiator Savior

The number one thing that is likely to destroy your radiator is electrolysis. When the engine grounds or PCM grounds are old, weak or break, the engine coolant becomes a ground path. In modern builds with LSX or EFI swaps, this can be a major problem. Especially when using an OEM wiring harness that has been cut up or butchered for a swap or Corvette C5's which are "ground" Nightmares.

Vehicles at significant risk of electrolysis are corvettes, s-10 swaps, 4th gen fbodies, any EFI swap and most LSX swaps.

Other culprits include cheap Home Depot crimp connectors that are not made for automotive use. They look great when you install them, but check on them 6 months later. Especially the super cheap ones made from vinyl.

Any vehicle with ratchet old wiring is especially at risk of electrolysis. This is bad news. When too much electrical current ends up in the radiator, it’s a grim prognosis for your radiator. It’s actually a death warrant for your radiator, it’s a just matter of time until it starts leaking.

Much like the anodizing process with aluminum, when you have current flowing through the radiator, it puts the corrosion process on steroids and destroys the brazed tube-to-header joint on the radiator. There is no saving the radiator once this happens.

This electrode kit will substantially help reduce the effects of electrolysis by concentrating the current flow on the zinc anode rather than the radiator. After lots of testing, our new version has a tapped port for grounding the anode to the chassis. So the consumable electrode gets destroyed rather than your shiny new radiator.

Includes the anode, wiring, crimp connectors and instruction manual. Has 1/4″ NPT thread and works in place of most drain cocks.

- Wiring Kit Information: This package makes the wiring of the fans a snap with special Molex connectors.  Pics of electrical kit coming soon (better than what we have now for pics, sorry)
