I need a new Radiator

Hey All,

I'm looking at buying a new radiator this month. I'm currently running a stock radiator with a 16" Electric thermo fan which is causing the old girl to run at around ~95 degrees on the highway on a hot day. Part of the cause I beleive is that I've installed a big FMIC and the air hitting the radiator is already hot.

At the moment I have around $400 to put towards cooling so I've been looking at the $299 ones at JustJap (clicky).

What I'm looking for at this point are answers to the following:

- Has anyone had any experience with "Cooling Pro" radiators?
- Which would benefit me more, a twin or triple core rad?
- What other products should I be looking at to optimise my cooling?
- Can anyone recommend another radiator at roughly the same price (looking to spend ~$400)?

Thanks in advance guys.

 

I got an ebay ASI one

56mm.. it was like $250 delivered

PZP is having a group buy going on radiators .. he might have a few left over.

Does the job

 

Hard to go wrong at that price... It's a twin core as well which most folks think is superior. (makes up for it being only 40mm)
Chinese made no doubt, couldn't buy a local product for that price.
Give it a try, it's prob the same radiator that's sold under many brand names.

 

how is that radiator held in steve,i see no mounting brackets ??????????

 

hey si. Not yet mounted. Hasn't even been driven with it yet. The pipes hold it secure.

 

Alrighty guys. I've put in my order for one and will do up a review after comparing it to the old rad.

 

at the bottom.... with hoses attached its not moving anywhere..

 

so what stops it rocking side to side joshua ,i guess you dont do twisty runs i think i may mount mine top and bottom to be sure to be sure

 

The radiator isnt going anywhere. My last PWR radiator was missing the top holding points. Its no trouble. It is firmly mounted at the bottom, and the water pipes are firm.

I threw around the last one a lot, with a lot of max aggressive cornering.

No problems at all.

 

I'm also in the market for a new radiator, any idea which one would be better between the 56mm asi one (single core) and the 40mm just jap one (duel core) because they are both around the same price and both made in china no doubt.

 

Well, it may be best to let me be the guinea pig and I'll let you all know what my temps are sitting at
