ok guys i am looking to go with a aluminum radiator in my rx-7. is this a wise choice? i also want to run an electric fan up to it? wats ur take on this or should i put an electric fan on a stock radiator? n also where the heck can i find a 1st gen aluminum radiator? thanks all

 

The point we all know is keep your rotary cool.
If you want a good aluminum radiator your looking at a BE-KOOL for about 800$

I personally used a stock radiator with a Mishimoto Fan the can suck some real air

The only reason i can see using a aluminum radiator is if you live on hot temp all year around.

 

ron davis also does a very nice rad

 

or you could always buy a aluminum koyo s4 rad and install it in your FB. I use a stock s4 rad for now untill i find the money a koyo.

 

Is there something special about rotary radiators?

I mean my 4-runner has a large aluminum radiator, so why couldnt we use commonly found aluminum rads and a decent e-fan or stock fan clutch (since we know it pulls alot of air).

Or do we not use them because or the custom mounting we would have to go through?

 

I talked with my buddy in Australia and the recommended this one from his shop

Pricey but it looks amazing

 

i use a ford racing 3 core aluminum with ford taurus dual fans. keeps the heat down pretty good

 

if you can make it fit it will work. mounts are not hard if your handy with a propane torch and solder. have you ever soldered copper water pipes?

 

Mazdaspeed motorsports has aluminum rads. you have to be a comp. member to get them. I bought one new in box a few years ago and it works very well. I put a very large e-fan on it. it never gets hot.
