I need a new radiator and at first I was just going to get a new stock one that was all metal and cheep. But then I started looking at the brand new aluminum ones. What’s so great about em that I should spend like $250+ and not just get a used one for $50. I know they are lighter but for that much more money. Is it really worth it.

 

A used radiator vs. new? Besides the obvious comparison, the all metal aluminum one will most certainly be a lot more durable and cool better.

 

but do i need to cool it that much better...i do have a t2 motor...if i want to get a shity one now and then upgrade later when i have the money......i Answered my own question….thanks ....lol

 

If I had a Turbo rotary, I wouldn't risk it. If you really want to go the used route, have the radiator tested and inspected for defects. You know exactly what your engine will do if it sees even the tiniest bit of overheating.

 

your right...but that means buming more money from my dad. aahhh i already owe him a grand for this car...and i have a lot more to go. well if i do get a new one is there anyone you preafer like a certan brand.... i do not want to spend a lot of money keep in mind....

 

Actually, I have a good link for you. Let me see if I can find it.

 

Damn, it is for non-turbos only. I'd say pester your Dad for the good stuff, before getting $1300-$2000 into him for a new engine. Plus you would have to figure out how to kick yourself, and that's almost physically impossible!

 

Actually i just got a new motor...i am so happy....i will show it off for you... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...ory=40931&rd=1

Got my Koyo through them. Very awesome guys to deal with and got an excellent deal.

 

i will prolly get an aluminum...but i still say look at the facts. 600% more money for what they say a 20-30% better cooling.
