Hey guys, I got my new radiator yesterday. I got it from radiator.com ($129.00 all metal). My car now stays at 1/4 and never goes up. I'm sure glad I didn't put on a new water pump. I would ranther spend 30 minutes putting in a radiator than 2 hours on a water pump.

 

Awesome! Any pics of the rad? Is it the same as the OEM one?

 

It sounds like the same all brass rad I put in last winter.
It works good on my NA also, but I suspect it might not be enough for a souped up turbo.

 

Radiator Is my next upgrade. I'm experiencing a little higher than normal temps right now. That Is with all new sensors, Water Pump, Black Magic E-Fan and Water Wetter. My Motor won't do to well when I start boosting.

Did you check www.absoluteradiator.com ? So far, I find them to have the best listed prices.

 

Does that Water Wetter really do any good?

 

Despite adding 2 bottles, I noticed no difference. This Is with a ratio of 60/40 Coolant/Distilled Water.

My Rad just recently started to act up.

 

Sorry no cam to take pics, but I figured after 15 years, it was time for a radiator, and boy it make a very big difference in cooling. I do believe it is brass.

 

so this radiator for only 130$ is really good? why is it so cheap but still good. it looks kind of small in the pic, are they about the same size as stock?

sureshot- how well did it work for u? have any times that it looked like it was getting kind of to warm?

 

I can't see how it isn't good. It's all metal, so It can't split. It is the same size as stock, just bolts on. I did a hard run on the highway, and it doesn't move past 1/4. After I rebuilt the engine I noticed my temp gauge would get higher the faster I went, so I figured it was the radiator. It also has a lifetime warranty. You can also get a radiator for the TII. Sorry, but I can't afford a $300-$400 radiator, as long as it keeps my engine cool, I'm happy.
