Looking to do another small mod this summer.

Just wiehging out the pros and cons of both mods rad and intercooler.

I know the stock rad isnt the greatest peice of meat on the market....Will an aftermarket rad help out alot in the summer heat?


Intercooler, I am looking to just put a new one in the stock position, something bigger and more efficient.

My current mods are Intake, downpipe, cat back.

What do you guys reccomend i do next radiator or intercooler.

I will definatly get both by the middle of summer, just not sure what to get first.

 

i'd get radiator first, but that's just me.

 

radiator

 

radiator for sure

 

both or just rad

 

radiator

 

Both if your going Front Mount. IMO.

 

+1 Radiator

 

+2 on the rad.

reliability before performance if you ask me.

 

Radiatior +3

 

do you have a PFC on your car as well? cause if you dont, your already risking the boost levels with those parts on your car already.

I bet your getting some pretty serious boost spikes and creep and crap... intake, downpipe and exhaust without an aftermarket ECU isnt a good idea...

id say unless you have a PFC, DEFINATELY DONT go with an intercooler... stick to the radiator for sure...

 

Radiator Koyo N flow.




=Ben

 

Radiator first for sure.

 

Can't go wrong with a Fluidyne radiator. With your current mods you should also upgrade your ECU when you get a bigger intercooler.

 

definitly radiator before intercooler

 

Radiator, I've have the standard koyo and it does a good job.

 

Should i get one off the net or at a store? can they break easy in the mail?
Anyone know if its a good idea to get them used?

anyone have any recomendations on brand/websites/stores to look for?

 

Ok i have never bought a rad for a high performance car before.

what features should i be concerned about.

also, what is the thickness of the stock radiator?

what should i judge my overall and final decision on when analyzing all the different options out there.

anyone have experience with ebay radiators? I found one with 3 year warranty...its alluminum and direct bolt on with no mod required. 24" Long, 12 High and 2" thick
