Anybody ever thought of buying a Fluidyne Radiator?
Radiators for the most part are universal, and the sensors in them are minimal. Has anyone ever thought of going to a tuner shop and fitting radiators to see if they work? I know if I found a radiator that fit, that was for a car with a similar size/displacement, I could make the brackets or my brother could cause he's a machinist.
The advantages of this would probably be more rewarding in an engine with forced induction, nitrous, and what have you... But most cars could benefit from being cooler regardless of their condition.
So what do you guys think?

Rep Power: 0 sounds like a good idea. HOWEVER.... i just got a fluidyne radiator for my friend's 94 supra TT. problem is, there's not oil lines to the fluidyne because you have to get a separate oil cooler. this is on a supra though so i dunno about our cars. just FYI. i still like the idea.

Rep Power: 0 when idling, my honda makes barely enough heat to warm the interior resectably - and as said before, you aren't going to need an aftermarket radiator to cool off a MASSIVE 165-195 hp if we ever get there.....

Rep Power: 396 As far as I know the stock radiator is aluminum. At least the one the body shop installed after my little accident is. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

mine makes it uncomfortably hot once the engine gets warmed up, i have to turn the temp down, havent noticed any difference when its idling, but i usually dont idle for too long
