    Default ae71 20v S/T Radiator Alternative

    hey guys

    Bout to put a silvertop 20v into my ae71 and looking for an upgrade for my radiator. I have been researching and Im most likely going for a X2 excel radiator but I would prefer to get a twin core or a bigger one. Any ideas??

    Cheers

    any particular reason you want a dual core, an excel model is pretty decent.

    I ran an excel one on my 20v, worked awesome. I only changed to an ebay spec alloy one because I want to modify the mounts

    Sam: No real reason just thought it might be a good option but if the excel is a decent set up ill give it a crack. Ps. i shall be purchasing your water kit and coil packs kit either this week or next

    Just use the stock one, is an "upgrade" really needed?

    Yeah...some thermo fans, other than that you don't really need one.

    Exactly what I was thinking, but instead of some you'd only need one that covers the majority of the radiator. The stock radiators are pretty beefy, a lot thicker than stock AE86 items at least.

    Really? any ideas of fans that would be ideal for use? and how hard would it be to wire that bad boy up?
