    Default Alloy radiator

    Nova alloy radiator. Local preferred but don't mind a drive.

    Try Radtec. www.radtec.co.uk
    Just had one built for mine, bit over kill for what I need but top notch workmanship. Custom to my requirements.
    They do offer a Nova Turbo setup which includes the intercooler as well.

    They aren't cheap though.

    This might be the best option as it isn't a vauxhall engine. Thankyou very much pal. Just out of interest how much was yours if you don't mind me asking?

    Actually just seen the price for the turbo setup. Mine is charge cooled. I'm looking for either a gte size or derv size in alloy. There used to be loads on eBay and now not too many.

    So this is designed as a GSi sized but using a 42mm thick core rather than the 26mm (I believe) Standard core.
    With the SPAL slimline fan and powder coating in the grey (standard is either polished or black) it came to ?460. But then this should be fit and forget, no plastic end tanks that can crack.

    That's a nice bit of kit and to be fair not badly priced.

    This lad builds the motors for my car and in turn I do a bit of fabrication on his car. The rad has held up very well in it
