Have you tried contacting them directly? In my dealings with them, I have found that they are quite helpful when you contact them about there product. Let them know your set-up and your use for the car and they will point you in the right direction. I am not associated with Speedfactory other than being a long time customer. Email or call them and I'm sure they will be glad to answer your questions.

If my memory serves me correctly, they told me that it will work on street cars. But I'm sure it depends where u live. Hotter states like Florida if u daily it in a turbocharge application, I'm not sure if it can handle it.

Default Re: has anyone used the speedfactory drag radiator?

I know this is an old thread but has anyone else used this radiator with luck on the street? I'm having a hell of a time keeping my turbo B16 sub 200 with the bumper on.

Fluidyne half radiator
Oem thermostat
S300 set to 185f

The radiator is slightly clocked towards the headlight because of the compressor housing and I think that's what's causing thr overheating. The SF is narrow enough that I could face it foward. All help is appreciated.

Joe
