Radiator
Was wondering what kind of radiator you guys are running and if there's any brands to stay away from? I'm in the process of rebuilding my engine and will need a radiator soon...

Re: Radiator
I went with a Mishimoto aluminum radiator and have had great results with it.

Re: Radiator
if you do go with a thicker aftermarket radiator I believe its still recommended to get their aftermarket stays to help keep it from binding which leads to early failure. Its also a good idea to get a zinc annode drain plug if you can find one for your radiator - it will degrade the annode instead of the radiator for the most part on the aluminum units

Re: Radiator
I bought it through AM or LMR...you can even find it on Amazon. I tried their slimline fans and they were junk. I went back to the factory fan and a Reisch 170 degree tstat and I have had no issues with cooling ever since.

Re: Radiator
Because of a wreck, I upgraded to a larger Champion, it lasted 13 months, 1 month out of the warranty. I then put in a Fluidyn, it has been working well for 3+ years. However, it was a PITA to make room for the turbo because it was so much thicker.
