Fluidyne Radiator

[FuriousEclipse]

Ok i am as some of you know in the progress of build my motor this winter and its turned out to be quite a parts list, i was wondering about these fluidyne radiators, i hear the aluminum radiators are supposed to help cool better and are lighter than stock(not much weight there anyways) but i just want to know if its a good brand or if anybody has or had one and what you thought of it

Fluidyne are very good, if you want another one to look at, check out a C&R racing adiator.....$500.... www.crracing.com check out the issue of Modified Magazine July 2003..... they show how to do a step by step instal of a radiator in a DSM. good luck with your car...

C&R does not make a radiator for the N/T's. You would have to buy a universal and make it fit. Just get the fluidyne and be happy.

A Fluidyne radiator is probably a very good idea now that you mention it. Ever since I started running boost levels of 9+psi I have noticed heat damage appearing on a few of the most exposed hoses and wires. This was probably the effect of driving on four hour trips back and forth a couple of times in 90 degree weather.

Have you upgraded anything in your cooling system Kirby? Where is the best place to get some aftermarket fans with that radiator?

I have not upgraded it yet but I will soon as I believe the underhood temps in the car are causing it to over heat.

Way to go, Ed. You just bumped two Fluidyne radiator threads - one from last September and the other from over two years ago.

I bought a Griffin Dual 1" Core radiator for mine. Its not made for my car, so I had to make the brackets to hold it in place, but its one BADASS radiator. I can drive with no fans on, in 90 degree weather, and as long as I'm going 30+mph it doens't overheat....

I don't remember the dimesions that fit exactly... I'm almost possitive it was 27"x14"

Fluidyne's are really good, just make sure you don't have an auto. It doesn't have the tranny cooler built in it.
