Im thinking about using one of these radiators for my rx3 13bt because the stock **** aint cuttin it anybody out there using one how is your temp?if you are running turbo....what other radiators should look into i just need my **** to run cool you know......

 

Rant now I'm running a short FB rx-7 radiator, 3 row copper.. Got it from autozone for about 130ish I think, its been a while.

I have it running on my streetported S5 T2 motor in my rx-2. Even when I beat the **** out of it my temps are a solid 185*, and I have a FMIC in front of it aswell. So far no heat issues and it wasn't to hard to fit. I belive you can use it as well.. many of the rx-2 guys run rx-3 radiators.. so I don't see why you wouldn't be able to fit a rx-7 radiator. I think the demensions are 11X22. you call look that up to double check. But it has no issues cooling off my motor even when I get on the boost hard.

 

what oil cooler are you using?

 

Stock rx-2, oil temps sit fine, hottest I seen was 200* and thats normal. Mounted right up front under the IC.

 

I think yo boy came to look at my rx3 im selling

 

he sure did, I might go with him this weekend we he goes again.

 

You should try to make it down in your other rx-3 tomorrow at ricky and ronnies, in torrance at around noon.
On the corner of sepulveda and normande.. from the 110, exit supulveda, make a right going towards the beach.. and it will be at the corner on the second light.

 

i've heard nothing but good stuff about pwr's, but they're $$

an afco 2-pass will do a better job cooling and it's less than half the price.

 

PWR is the supplier for NASCAR.

 

that pertains to some guys street car in what way?

 

well if there design and craftsmanship is good enough for the nascar teams to run, it shows that they must have a well built product........DUH. When is the last time you heard of a nascar team blowing out a radiator?

 

nascar teams also use goodyear tires, but you don't exactly see those on the shelf, now do you?

*edit*

now that i think of it, my experience in dealing with race teams is they use whatever's free

 

wow they r expensive over 700 for a fb 1

 

I personally like Griffin or Northern radiators. They are both race proven, 100% aluminum, and are WAY cheaper and more available than PWR, Fluidyne, or Koyo. Just my .02.
