overheating problem solved
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.

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.

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.
