Buy ASI and nothing else when buying cheap alloy radiators
roughly how much are ASI radiators? and may i ask why you say that?
get a decent one, china ones usual are poorly welded together and the flow is shit. the way i see it is when i comes to cooling your motor(really important) you shouldnt cut corner cause it will come back at you in the end
~KEEP DRIFTING FUN~
ASI rads are on ebay, alot of people run them, there really good value for money, some people complain they have to space there mounts on the bottom out (ae86) but this was apparently fixed with newer versions
looking arounf the 250 mark look on ebay man
ASI are just proven everyone and his dog runs then fuck from memory even Nigel petrie runs them,
S13 ons are only $200 delivered and im yet to here a bad comment about them, plus if is does arrive dodgy do a paypal dispute get a refund and spend the refund fixing it or buy another,
Ive had 3, in 3 different cars, and never had a dodgy weld.
Ive never seen any flow comparisons, but would be interested to see.
Either way, Id say a dodgy chinese radiator will be better than a half blocked 30 year old one any day of the week.
also with the ASI ones, a friend put one in his AE86 , and was still using original clutch fan, he lock up all 4's one day the clutch fan hit the rad and ASI replaced it under warranty for him and didnt wont the damaged one back
hmm well then i guess ill go ASI, thanks for the help guy's,
Yeah, I got one off ebay. Michael Auto Parts was the name of the store and their shop/warehouse is in Sydney. You can even go in and look at it first if you are still not sure. Great value for money. Perfect fit, welds are fine and looks nice. Only $249 delivered.... I am running a 4AGTE and the car gets used for tarmac and drift, with that radiator and only a 10' thermo fan, it has never gone above 95deg......
They put them on ebay, but here is the link to their store -
