Ok so I am working out a deal with a company to get a bulk order of aluminum radiators. Just oversized and aluminum. Nothing crazy, think along the lines of ISIS but around $100. This isn't something I'm going to blow up and advertise just a small side project. What does everyone run?

I know you can rig them but I'd rather just have it a drop it and go kind of thing. Any input would be greatly appreciated. I tried to make a poll but I don't have the poll button for some reason and it got deleted.

Why not have a nice quality one built that out flows or performs many of the top brands? instead of just scraping the bottom of the drift car fanboy corner of the world?

same reason im having a hard time selling my hks turbo.....people would rather buy cheap knockoffs than shell out for quality..... hence why there are so many pos 240's on the road now... fanboys....

Don't turn this into a knockoff thread please. These are better than stock at a great price. I don't like cheap parts but a radiator is pretty simple. It probably comes from the same factories as the "name brand" ones without the markup.

Not really, thats why the radiators last at least a 100k miles before taking a dump at minimum, and then you get a godspeed that won't even last the same as an OEM. So no they aren't better than stock at a great price.

I agree, I had a stock one go out at 173k miles do to a not very well placed deer a few years ago, Got a junk CXracing one, lasted all of 7k miles, bought a used stock OEM one, never had a issue.

Exactly! My 98 240sx which the motor has been replaced but the radiator hasn't has 213,xxx miles on the radiator, chassis, etc. The radiator works perfect no flaws and still running strong. Knock on wood lol.

So your stating that you do not have a s13 ka radiator? I bought one off ebay a while back for $135 shipped and it came with dual electric fans. I have 20k miles on it, no issues yet.

CA and KA use the same radiators...

Greddy $700 or bust no inbetween lol. The whole reason was to see the most popular application. Everybody knows there are better options. 75% buy godspeed/isis anyways. If you want basically the same thing for half the price pm me.

If you wanna make money. Why not make a tucked radiator for these applications listed above. The same as a chasebays tucked one. There is no cheap option for that compared to all the cheap competition you have for normal sized ones already.
