Coolant Temps while racing - What rad?
hey guys,
looking for another rad. I had a triple pass Ron Davis rad that was amazing untill it blew for no reason. Rov Davis will no warrenty it so I am looking for another really good rad. Wondering what you guys are useing. I am trying not to spend the huge bucks again on the rad. I was thinking KOYO but not sure if that will hold up well. Is K2RD still in business? thanks guys let me know!

Im using a Griffin, it's a custom set-up, I have "blueprints for it, I could probably find. It features an AST, and is roughly 24x24. It is mounted at about a 70* angle, so the bottom is even with the front subframe. I see temps of ~200-210 after 1/2 hour road racing at ~80* ambient. That is with two stock oil coolers, and very good venting, on a small ~300rwhp wet turbo set-up. Check member cars at Teamfc3s.org go to the forum section behind the pit wall, you'll see a thread called "car of the year", click on my name, then click on photos. Double click to enlarge the photos. Carl
I am really up against it trying to finish my car for an event, so it may be a little while before I can get the blue print found. AWR has some very nice bolt in radiators for ~400.00 Check them out before going custom. IMHO, CUSTOM SUCKS, I've spent a stupid amount of hours, and over built the car to a silly level. I could have spent half the money, and been racing a year ago, with nearly as good a car. Live, and learn, plus it is very nice, but what a PITA!
