Hey guys, just thinking into radiators on these cars, has anyone upgraded to aluminium items? What would be the best options? Thicker triple pass cores etc? What options are there?
Most of them work well. I have a koyo in the shed off a race car that has a repair on it. Used it in my red zed for about 5 years. Cheap for you.
Depends what sort of performance you want and what the rest of your cooling system is like. I've run one of the cheap, thick ASI units off ebay and as far as cooling it was fine with fmic, vented bonnet, no AC etc. but I was even taking it to the track without issue. It did have a problem with the overflow outlet though which I had to fix up, and being so thick was a pain for getting the shroud on and off, I've gone to a much thinner PWR unit I got in a wreck.
I'm still running an ASI ebay radiator for 8 years now .. Does a great job . .. If it stuffs up I 'll be spending another $150 for a new one . .
I've got a big thick one off of EBay and it works great, due to the thickness the old shroud wouldn't fit so I made a new one out of some sheet metal. Wasn't overly difficult.
