Default What radiator?

I have a gsr radiator in my EG, one of the bottom mounts I made has disappeared at some point and more importantly the radiator sits right where my Jimfab.com traction bars go. I want to get either a Fluidyne or PWR radiator and was wondering where people got their radiators from, and which one works better for an EG w/a B18c and turbo.

I was going to buy a C&R radiator from afterhourz but I have to wait as I just had work done by GEM.

Can't go wrong dealing with PWR from ninesecrx and Earl. They both seem like stand up guys with great prices, product, and service.

CR is the best.....We use PWR stuff too...but the CR radiator is the way to go....We will soon be warehousing them for CR for the East coast..

Why are they better than PWR?

Pwr and C&R are both good products.

You can't go wrong with either or. If you are getting pwr get it from earl or ninesecrx.

Honsetly, the construction of the c&r is better quality. But, realistically, both will work fine. The c&r just looks better...

The C&R also comes with a thin spal fan on nicely mounted on the radiator. The spal fan is thinner than the Fal fans i beleive. The same fans used in nascar.

PWR is comming out with a raciator/fan unit as well. Of course...its gonna add price. The C&R that I saw had a pretty big fan thickness wise on the back. Do they only have 1 type with 1 fan?

the c&r uses a very slim spal fan, i'd say a little over 1.5", but pretty big diameter.

Yes the standard CR comes with the 1.5" fan......The large CR with the Stewart water pump thats built in has a 2.5" thick fan....But hopefully that can be changed(due to the lack of space this year in our racecar)...The CR use very high quality cores also...cost is a little bit higher....and they can withstand higher pressures in case of a headgasket failure.....I have seen Fluidynes blow or swell under a bad headgasket....Actually I watched Brent Rau dyno once with a blown headgasket and watched his Fluidyne twist up and swell the tanks at a low boost setting. Our CR went through a headgasket failure at 8500rpm under 33 psi and a 150shot that eventually blew the Rad. cap off the surge tank...at closer inspection it ripped the neck off the tank! No damage to the Rad....if it did....warranty....

Didnt knock the PWR's ... these are nice

Hmm...that is pretty tiny. Maybe the unit I saw the guy added on the fan later.
