see alot of people using them these days, what they like for temps? much lower then standard? would GRS be better?

 

I've heard mixed reviews on ally rads. I'm pretty sure that copper is better at dissipating heat than ally. Also heard stories of ally rads popping.?
Out of the two I think GRS tend to supply better quality products.

I got myself a recond std rad a little while ago for my RST and its the dogs! very low temps.

 

Hi
I am using airtec radiator. There is still little problems with coolant temps. Problem is that there is so big intercooler front of the radiator. I believe that with standard size intercooler temps would be fine. Copper radiator is better than alloy but i got good deal for intercooler&radiator.

 

Im going copper rad, all the rally boys round here use them, its costing me Ł90.00 to have a copper core fitted to by standard headers.

 

i found my airtec as new from a member here in very good price.... So changed my cooper because of some small leaks...

 

ive heard alloy rads to be problematic if not using the correct coolant

 

I have a alloy rad airtec one and its brilliant no problems yet a year on must addmit it takes longer to cool fans stay on a bit longer but i got a fmi and the fans are in fornt off it.

Cheers joe

 

My car for one, ran hotter with the biggest GRS ally rad they do than it did with a standard RST rad on it. I'll be sticking to a standard rad from now on.

 

Ud think it be the other way round.

 

Does anyone know of a decent place in essex to get a recore done?
