Does anyone know on what heater core is base the JR-120 from Dtek. It's the samller version of their Core radiator wich mesure:
5.5"W x 6.38"H X 2"Thick
 
I am not 100% certain on this, but I think that is the same core -- it has just been cut down and the bottom tank soldered back in place. I tried a fairly intensive search for a core with the dimensions like the jr. but came up with nothing that was even a close match -- you can get close on size but the fittings and tanks never match up.

for reference, the overall dimensions are:
5.5"W x 6.38"H X 2"Thick with the tanks

shave off the room for the top and bottom tank and you are looking for a core that is 5.5" x 5.5" x 2"

a quick trip over to the heatercore project with search dimensions of 5.25-6.00" x 5.25-6.00" x .75- 3" to cover anything that is a close possible match will produce this info --

core #:
2-646 - this is from a geo '89-97 tracker to be specific - they are usually hella expensive ($259.99) and special order only...
2-588 - this one is from a '74 toyota corona - usually not in stock anywhere and over $40 if they are in stock.
2-596 - 79-83 toyota pickup $51.99
2-604 - 87-88 toyota tercel $65
2-567 - 80-83 honda civic - special order - over $60.
2-610 - 84-87 toyota corolla 1200 or 85-88 chevy nova - $44.99
 
Thx Weapon.
I emailed the sales at dtek but I dont think they will tell me if it's an actual automotive heater core.

Do you have an adress for the heater core project.
The link I had does not work anymore so I tought there wasnt a project anymore.

Yup the smallest most available is the Chevy chevette any year.
I think thats the base of the dtek pro core.
 
I have the link for the new heatercore search engine at home -- I will post it when I get there.

I don't know which one they use now but several months ago, a dtek rep told me the one they use is from a ford. he would not name the model though....
 
89 Ford Escort maybe : 7 3/4 x 6 1/8 x 2

89 Ford Taurus same size ; different model
Ford Ranger 1983 to 1994 and Ford Bronco II 1980 - 1990

Also same size.

Just a guess.
 
Thx alot.

I shop to some auto store for a chevette heater core.
The price was ranging from 49-82$ CND.
While the price in the US is aroun 18$ ( 24$ CND )

:(
