Alloy rad

Tig welder wasn't too impressed when I took him mine to be fixed. I'd get a good branded OE one from personal experiences. That's what I run now.

Or spend the 300 on a pukka alloy one.

The ones from eBay are from Holland which are Chinese manufactured mate

Like with most things, pay out at the start to get the best.

Which is what i'll do when i have to replace.

Benn gives bad engine fitting advice but good radiator advice.

F**k you. Just cause i can fit an engine the correct way.

I don't know if I'd trust a standard radiator had one in my xe corsa and it was a nightmare for overheating

I ran a std copper rad on a Let Nova for almost a year.

A xe shouldn't over heat, i've seen 1lt 3/4 sized rads used on xe Novas and be fine.

Would a standard one take 15 mins on track?

**Jonlem** · 03-01-16, 06:20 PM

Tbh I've had a few of those alloy rads and never had a issue, due to how we pipe up the engines we have to use a alloy radiator anyway and the TX one quite comfortably deals with water temps on track.

I absolutely cane a standard gsi valeo on track and its fine
