Im after a 500size cooler, which are recommended please
Pace
A.H. fabrications
rad tec
Pro alloy
others? I cant find the mags with the tests in and want to compare please so any link to the results or recommendations thankyou.

Car will run 400bhp max, std comp ALS and decent boost, 63mmpipes will be fine and used on track but road to and from
It cant cost a fortune and I want decent temp drops and above all throttle response lokks arent too important

Mr RS500

iTrader: (6)

Pro-alloy

Remember , you get what you pay for tho

I'd say Radtec PM if you want a price

Mr RS500

iTrader: (6)

you cant be serious

Dan@Rapid-Ford

iTrader: (5)

Why can't I?

I got Pro Alloy on mine, fookin awesome quality of work!

RWD_cossie_wil

iTrader: (9)

AH Fabrications is the dogs bollocks, as used on LOTS of WRC cars etc, I have one you can have a look at if you like, far better quality than all of the other "big" names IMHO, and I have experience with all of them...

Mr RS500

iTrader: (6)

Sorry , I suppose it is your opinion, but wouldnt say that Rad tec were worthy of a recomendation above pro -alloy

BTW, Pm me if you want a price for a Pro-alloy item i have them in stock

Martin-Hadland

iTrader: (2)

Pro alloy every time... Even if their stuff didn't work (I know it does!!) at least they know how to weld !! I can supply the whole Pro Alloy range, pm for prices. My Escort is 100% Pro Alloy

Dan@Rapid-Ford

iTrader: (5)

you will have them in stock at their prices, whereas I've ordered 4 Rs500 coolers and 2 aircon kits this week so they come direct from them

Why has Nick from Peformance ford taken his Pro Alloy cooler OFF his car due to temps on track

Dan@Rapid-Ford

iTrader: (5)

do you have an off the shelf cooler or the Ł500+ custom option?

Martin-Hadland

iTrader: (2)

You may well have just shot yourself properly inthe foot if that's not true...

PERFORMANCE FORD Nick .. Is it true and if so why??????????

Mr RS500

iTrader: (6)

I always have pro-alooy coolers in stock as they look so bling on the alloy shelf in my bling office

Plus they sell very well to the passing trade . or the man who turns up at the workshop with more money to spend than he thought he had

Also , most mag boys change there stuff to suit the free stuff they get every month for the free plugs

Dan@Rapid-Ford

iTrader: (5)

He said it in one of his writeups on his car progress section.

simon170

Nick did have an AH intercooler installed and from what he told me, it was an excellent bit of kit.

Fudgey

iTrader: (4)

i paid for mine if thats ref to me paul! lol

ps, i also got pro alloy fuel cell, rad, custom tanks and hard pipes - their stuff is faultless and i have not heard of anyone having problems with temps etc, well maybe except for nick as dan just said that!

Fudgey

iTrader: (4)

dont you work for PF anymore simon?

KSA-Cossie

iTrader: (4)

I'd say radtec too.

Mr RS500

iTrader: (6)

It wasnt mate ,

I was expecting a slap from one of the PF boys for that comment

simon170

Hi Dan,

no mate, I left a few months ago now.

Martin-Hadland

iTrader: (2)

Dan, I'm not sure what you mean. Yes I can supply off the shelf but what does the Ł500 + option mean Understand one thing ... Everything I sell has been tested by myself, I don't sell just for profit margin.

Fudgey

iTrader: (4)

how come bud? same reason as me leaving ff?

ie a didstinct lack of money lol?

Mr RS500

iTrader: (6)

Same here Martin

there is actually more profit on other coolers than pro-alloy , but i choose to sell items that fit correct and work perfect rather than the item that gets me more wonga and a load of greef

costina

iTrader: (1)

PRO ALLOY
Nuff said imo

Paul

Rs(555)

iTrader: (8)

has anyone tested airtec items???? dont shoot me down in flames ive put airtec cooler and 60mm radiator on my 3 door well happy so far ... admit only just fitted ..but good fit and price i await the grief

RWD_cossie_wil

iTrader: (9)

Amazing really.... Pro Alloy sellers recon they are best, Rad-tec sellers recon they are the best... Anyone would think there is a bias there somwhere

At least no one has said pace

Mr RS500

iTrader: (6)

Wil

the question is why we sell pro-alloy tho

look above for the answer

RWD_cossie_wil

iTrader: (9)

I know mate, they would be my choice if AH didn't exist ... Was only playing with that comment, just struck me as funny

Fudgey

iTrader: (4)

i must admit that the reason i went for PA stuff is its all proven to work!

i could have got the other stuff, but chose not to

Dan@Rapid-Ford

iTrader: (5)

I mean you have their wide boy custom cooler not there 50mm off the shelf item.

I know what your getting at with "tested by myself" comment its because I don't have a super fast car

but Radtec has told me they test their coolers on a test rig at MIRA. I will call them on pver the weekend or monday and refer them to this thread to comment on what you have said as I'm not qualified.

Either way PM me for a price if you want one

dave cos4x4

iTrader: (5)

iirc one of the mags done a test on the i/c's available....cannot remember what came top though.

simon170

PM sent.

Dan@Rapid-Ford

iTrader: (5)

what did I start

Mr RS500

iTrader: (6)

Nowt that you could finish

RWD_cossie_wil

iTrader: (9)

great

simon170

I wont go on about the gear on Nicks car, as I'm sure he will post on this thread when he sees it.

But what I will say is Nick knows his eggs and he rated the AH kit very highly when we spoke about it.

costina

iTrader: (1)

Pro alloy looks nice and performs well
Pace have had the same design for years
Airtec looks cheap imo (u get what u pay for!!)

If Martin,Mike,Harvey all use Pro then why not have the best??

Buy it once do it right
