The 2 litres is only the amount of beer required to cool down the mechanic after he's fixed your car. :P

Should be around the 4 litres is my guess... my jimny is a 1.3L with the smallest radiator i have seen in a car to date, and it holds 4 L.

If the engine was cold and the thermostat shut, then you could only get about 2L out of the colling system maybe? But you would think mechainc like ultratune would know better than that....

The NA8 is six(6) litres so it will be close to something like that. Ultratune :roll:

If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

stock manual radiator only, will hold 3.3L (going off the external dimensions only, using 1cm cubed as a mL)
auto one will hold closer to 5.3L (again off external dimensions only - so it'll be less plus its got an oil cooler line inside the bottom tank)

If the PWR one is the same dimensions but 40mm think it'll hold about 8.2L

Then you gotta add all the water galleries and heater core and water lines.
