Im getting ready to start piecing together my turbo parts, but im wondering what would be so bad about runngin a half sized rad in order to use a good manifold. I will not use a cast manifold, but a lot of manifolds i see say 1/2 sized rad must be used. if i just got a badass koyo or fluidyne would it still be enough to keep temps where i want them? i searched, but couldnt find anything, if you can just leave a link. thanks - jeremiah

 

hey man, a run a stock delsol half core on my gsr, with stock fan, and i never overheat, even when its 90deg out. This is with water lines to my 30r also. Maybe i'm just lucky ..

 

i have the half sized Del Sol as well with a slim fan on a B18b. Not even close to overheating, even at the track

 

I run a PWR half sized radiator and the only time I have run hotter then I would like is if I boost the hell out the motor and get cought in traffic during 90F weather. Otherwise it never goes over 201-203F.

I still have a AC condensor which I think blocks some airflow more then other setups. I'm thinking about squeezing in a stock gsr radiator since I think it will just barely clear my wastegate.

There is a guy in town with an ITR that had overheating issues with a dual core half size radiator and switching to a larger surface area stock radiator fixed his problems.

 

We run our half size radiators in all our customers cars, they're not dual core but the core is twice as thick compared to an oem radiator , never have an issue with cooling.

 

so basicly as long as it isnt a oem rad itl be cool? thanks thats what i needed to find out. i guess i should look for a koyo or fluidyne delsol size rad?

Not saying oem won't work, I believe a koyo or a fluidyne can be over kill at times.

What he is trying to say without directly saying it is buy his.

 

Half size rad no probs Either stock or aftermarket

No I'm not, go check my thread, I actually advise people not to buy it at times. If it sounds like the radiator is not a cooling issue but something else, why would I try to push something on them that won't work.

What I'm saying it koyo and fluidyne can be over kill at times, and oem radiators are highly prices compared to ours. Nothing bad about half size radiators, to answer his original question.

And to quote myself, I never once said oem radiator would not work.
