Ebay Radiator is it worth it???
I was looking for a radiator and came upon this one on ebay. Just wondering if anyone has it and how they like it, The welds look kind of cheesy but i think it would be alright, Also would it work with a Turbo kit, Thanks for your suggestions

Re: Ebay Radiator is it worth it??? (swpdb16)
this is how i see it from alot of people around here,
One late nite, your coming home from your hangouts, in a hurry to get home....why? You got to go take a big **** (latenite Taco Bell), but, all of sudden, your temp gauge is about to hit "H" and you cannot let your $9k so call turbo-motor overheat. So your only choice is to turn off your engine and pull over to the side of the road. Your stuck in the worst part of town, your engine is about to melt (remember, its alumnium) and your so closed to shitting your Power Ranger boxers..........why?You wanna to save some $$$ on a aftermarket radiator.
no such thing as being cheap and fast at the same time

haha, Bert is hilarious.
That place has been selling those radiators for a long time now. I'm sure some people on H-T are running them.

You say that. But its not true. I recently bought a radiator for my mom's Jeep and they say it was a direct OEM replacement and it was to an extent but not all that well. What I'm trying to say is buy a name brand or a company that specializes in radiators.

Koyo makes a good del sol dual core replacment for the VTEC model thats as thick as the one in the picture and only like 160 bux or I have an extra one I'll sell for 100

[QUOTE=soccaian]i believe he is also a sponsor here on H-T, cause i SWEAR i've seen that radiator before on here[/QUOTE
it is a sponsor. As long as there are no leaks and the ugly welds last, i don't got a problem with it. planning to get this item when i do my swap.

Re: Ebay Radiator is it worth it??? (swpdb16)
I bought one. I decided I wasn't going to use it. It will function well due to it's 2" alumminum core, it's just not perfect looking like a fluidine or Koyo. They are selling them for $179 plus $40 shipping. I will sell the one I got, brand new, never been used for $189 shipped, you save $30! If anything goes wrong with it, I still have the 1 year warranty. Send it back to them under my address, and I will send you the new one. But it is made pretty well, just not perfect. Let me know!
