Radiator hunt

[Ash.Z]

Hi, can anyone direct me as to where to find a new radiator for a 4th.
I use the car for track days and sprints, but have never had a problem with overheating, so not sure if a high flow is necessary. I've been warned about some eBay ones that they are basically built on the cheap so aren't any good.
I would be grateful for any advice on which rad and where to buy them from.
Cheers Ash

you could try this company-dohn just seen they dont do radiators

Im pretty sure the cheap ebay ones are ok - think there about £40 each

Heres a better link (lifted from LB) think they might do a 10percent discout for car clubs - worth asking
They do JDM rad and youd have to check if they do UKDM Rad - you didnt say which you wanted.

Mines a JDM, is there a difference?

[vanzep]

yes they are different but sure you can use a UKDM one as it will fit..pretty sure the BB4 JDM ones are thicker and have a larger cooling capacity -maybe someone can confirm this.

I bought one of these for my JDM 4th gen track car and have never had any cooling problems:

If you have the AC removed there is probably enough air flow to satisfy it.

I don't have air con, so that's not an issue. I saw those rads but it seemed way to cheap. But if your running with no probs then I may well go with it. Just curious, the Ali ones, what's the advantage?

Here are a few pics of the cheepo rad:

I think mine has a sensor of some variety on it at the bottom, sorry Im not so technical.

[Merlin]

I think that will be the power cable for the AC fan.
