does anyone here have the K2RD radiator or any other aftermarket radiator for their street driven FC. what are your comments on temp control and the such relative topics.

 

why is it that it's harder and harder to have technical answers on this board. Ok.............so should i put a big spoiler on my car, or leave the stock one.

 

When my stock radiator's plastic tank split, I put in a brass replacement for $131.

 

Well, I'd say get the biggest wing possible, of course!

Radiator: I have a large Griffin Rad with a Vintage E-fan. I have to say, its way better than stock.

My car is running on-average 20F lower than it used to. Temps are usually around 180-185 F. That's during the summer, and with a big-*** turbo upgrade, running 14 psi.

Well worth the $$$...

 

I guess when I finally get a turbo I'll need a bigger budget!

 

Wow, seems like there is a lot of radiator threads lately. I've been running a Fluidyne in my 88 'vert for about a year now. I also upgraded to an electric fan when I put it in. I'm pretty impressed with the combo. Temp stays pretty much where you set it(unless your fan bites the dust). When I first installed it I kinda rigged the wiring just to test it out. I had lost a connection in traffic and obviously my temps skyrocketed. I was able to get out of traffic and a quick cruise at moderate speed was enough to drop it back down to the normal range without the aid of the fan. It's not the cheapest upgrade but now that I did the wiring properly I feel a lot safer with it. I was afraid to leave the house with the old radiator/fan clutch combo.

 

I have the Fluidyne. Pretty pricey, but is a direct bolt in and in combination with my electric fan it overcools my car.

 

i just got the K2RD and would like to know how it does at slower speeds. The fan is a high performance 16" SPAL. I think it flows 2350 CFM. the fan and brass radiators were plenty stock, but with a front mount and summer temps i doubt it would cut it.
