Radiator replacement options

Recommended Posts

Options I've found so far are:

BMWarehouse radiator $299 - looks like a factory replacement part.

Fluidyne all aluminium radiator $982 + shipping

PWR Radiator 42mm all alumium $1100

Redline Performmance 45m all alumium radiator $295

I believe all are single core

What are some other options?

I'd preferably like to go all aluminium just because my not so educated head says that plastic joining to aluminium isn't wise for a radiator. If anyone had any advice to give on what i should look for in a radiator?

Does anyone have any experience with any of these radiators?

PWR Radiator 42mm all alumium $1100

hehe .. I got quoted $1700 to make up a 42mm .. guess the agents worked out people just went else where as it was just too expensive. The PWR ones are made in aus with a 6-8week lead time.

a1 radiators /CHCH do an all alloy one as well for cheap... not sure of the qaulity however.

a1 radiator on trademe $392 added to the list of options then.

Segedins website isn't working so well. Do they import a certain brand or build them themselves?I'll give them a call either way

Think i've sorted this now.

I will be getting a Mishimoto all alloy dual core radiator for $424

After reading plenty of reviews online it seems to be the best choice. You have no idea how boring radiator discussions are.

Next step will be finding a 16 inch puller spal fan and making up a fan shroud
