what they like for cooling? anybetter then std one? its for my frst,
cheers andy

 

I've ran one for a few years now with no issue. Some will say the standard copper cored rad is better for cooling due to the material it's made of dissipating heat better......but i never found this and after having a new copper rad and swapping to the alloy one i personally found the alloy one to keep my temps lower on track (which is what i was having problems with), on the road you should never really have any temp issues if everything's clean/fluched and working correctly.

 

same as above really

 

correct in a way,the alloy one will take longer to get hot but once its hot it cant get rid of the heat as quickly as a copper one,your cars are made to run at a certain temp for a reason.so in effect your raggin your car when the water temp is not at its optimum

 

Lol, i was fully expecting a reply along those lines (hence why i had already explained why a copper rad Should be better)......they are just MY findings and whilst i can't fault your logic they are what i've found through practical experience so i can't agree with you on the subject. Unless you think temps over 100 degrees are neccesary for an rst to run at its optimum?

From what i can gather you're saying the alloy rad will take longer to warm up (fair point) but why you think i rag my car when it's not up to temp i don't know so i won't be raggin it when the water is not at its optimum.....and you then go on to say it won't get rid of the heat like a copper radiator, which again I have not found to be the case.

 

I bought a Pace rad 6 years ago ive done almost 35k on it and I've had no problems with it so far.

 

You will be fine using an Alloy radiator. Although copper is a better heat conductor, Alloy radiators work better as they can be made lighter so do not suffer from heat soak.

Cheerz,
