right well i cant find a 2nd hand cooler so looks like im gonna have to buy new

which is the best out of rad tec or pro alloy

which is easiest to fit?

ta

 

Both as easy to fit as each other, the Radtec is fractionally cheaper, the Pro-alloy one better build quality.

You pays ya money and makes ya choice - I would not hesitate in having either on my car, but chose Pro-alloy purely on the quality of the welds .

 

define fractionally?

 

Pro Alloy all the way for a perfect fit, and perfect quality.......

 

Do Pro Alloy do a kit that enables you to keep the Air Con on the Escort ??

 

No, that is only available AFAIK from Radtec.

 

Cheers.

 

Ok i know the price differences now between different pro-alloy cores.

So who uses the smaller one and at what point do you really need the 65mm core?

 

What's with one like this then!?

Seem massively cheap, as does their Cooler/Rad combo's!

 

Anyone know how much better the Proalloy radiator is compared to the original one? as it dos`nt look much bigger..

 

Dan

might be an xs power version. Look for my post last week about them

 

whats the website addy for radtech?

anyone

 

Knocks 7°C off standard temps on track.

 

ok, thanks!

 

I was trying to make my mind up too.

 

pro alloy all day long


Luciano

 

Pro Alloy

 

Proalloy for the cooler

Their rads are amazing as well! Have them on Sierra and Skyline and they have never had any trouble even on roasting hot days at full chat on racetracks

 

nice one cheers lads, looks like its gonna be a pro alloy one then!



so share your great knowledge then sheepy?

 

i'm not like everyone on here that has used them both....(not).....i've got a radtec cos i got it cheap and it does the job.........well

 

 

pm the 'bird


renton
lost your tongue?

 

anything over 500bhp and I reckon the bigger one is way forward

 

Try this website mate seems some good stuff at reasonable pricws

www.autospecialists.co.uk

 

so im safe with the small one then! phew

 

cant you just pm me what you got

cos i dont even know what the question is i need to ask

 

you talking cores now?

what size cores do you get 50mm & 60mm

what are the differences?

and is the 60mm core harder to fit?

 

Pro alloy all the way

 

Radtec for me

60mm in a saff is as easy to fit as the 50mm.

Can I ask how many times do you open the bonnet and look at the welds on the intercooler and think phoooaarr




nowt wrong with the welding here and for the price and the fact its been tested against the other brands and if you look at the figures and compare inlet temp v outlet on the test - it done very well really

Pm me if you want a price for a Radtec Intercooler

 

radtec or A+H sorry mike but i dont like pro coolers

 

i have rad tec i/c turbo pre rad and rad, never had any problems

does the job well IMO

 

if you get the Radtec cooler you get the 60mm for less than the 50mm ProAlloy one.

 

Pro -alloy only for me

Changed my Radtec for pro-alloy and didnt regret it one little bit

 

My mate has just bought a 60mm Radtec Cooler, fitted absolutely perfect in his 2wd Saph and looked very high quality!

For the sake of it i'd save the money and go Radtec mate! Not like your running 5/600bhp or anything is it.

 

Im a fan of the pro alloy gear but i had a few problems, my first one started leaking, then i sent it back to be fixed, which they did pronto, no quibbles.

Then it burst again, sent it back and they had it right through december and then sent me back a brand new rad AND cooler, agan...no quibbles they found it was a design problem in the S1 kit where the cooler rubs on the radiator and eventually punche a hole in it, i got my brand spanking new cooler & rad modified o no more rubbing, albiet with rubber strips round the cooler.

Now its a bit of a bastard that the rad broke twice however i cant fault them on customer service and the equipment does the job well and on that i would say go Pro Alloy

why...


Lower act's from the radtec and the fact that its thicker core.

 

In the 100+ intercoolers I've sold in the last 8 months I've had 1 return and that was the customer asked for act sensor on the coldside which was done after it was made and it was sentout instead of going back for pressure cleaning , and that was sorted no cost to the customer

I've spoken to a few other people that have had fitment probs with Pro Alloy products too.

 

AH fab's for my cossie.


63mm as std.


And the original for the latest designs..

 

Who are A+H Fabrications Dan? I know of a cheap A+H 500 cooler...

 

The Radtec 60mm Core intercooler is their old design - has been out for well over a year now.

Might need to speak to them about updating it, but then again, 'if it works, don't fix it'!
