Pics 3" Fluidyne Nascar Radiator
I can see about getting more of these if ppl are interested. Took me 2 days to fully install this puppy. had to relocate quite a bit. The install is still a little nasty looking. I had to relocate battery, cooling fan switch, coolant temperature sensor, and coolant level indicator. I can try to guide people through the install if needed. I can see about ordering some of these for ppl for about $200. Results of temperatures are not yet available because my temp switch wire has a short and my temp gauge has not arrived yet.
Check it out!!

yeah, around here seem like cooling problems are always there. Of course I dont even have a double pulley on my alt. Still looking for one of those. I dont want to pay twenty bucks for one though when there is the possibility of pulling one off a core from a customers alt.
The bigger the better right?

To a certain extent.
From a previous post, the max you would want on a street car is 2.5"
After that you are creating too much work to pull the air through all that distance, and are losing cooling efficiency.

Hmm, so I should get rid of it? Seems to be doing a great job though.... Compared to the stock one. My e-fans actually pull more air through this one than the stock one, maybe the fins were all ate up.

Sounds a little exsessive, but hell ... if it cools better than the stock one (I'm sure it does) then its a improvement, right? I say leave it be as long as its doing the job.

Oh ya, definitely better than stock.
But a 2"-2.5" would be more efficient.
Btw, Rob, how long did it take absolute radiator to ship out your koyo? Im still waiting for them to bill me and its been a day and a half. Its all I need to drive my car again dammit!

****, I told the guy ... ship it or I end you! 
Naw, i called on a Saturday he billed me that day, shipped it monday I had it on Wed. FedEx Ground. It only came from the L.A. area.
I hate dealing with web pages.. I usally call the place when I'm making a order, that way I have a name/date/time if I need someone to bitch at for a Fug up later. Plus its the personal touch
