Does anyone know this radiator?

Is this a CX Racing radiator core with slim fans added? There the same price but the ebay one comes with the fans...

Haha those fans are totally photo shopped on . It's probably just a copy. The fans are probably junk and don't flow what they claim. Plus I would want the biggest fans you can get.

No experience with this particular radiator, but I do know you get what you pay for when it comes to these cheap cores. Even more so with cheap fans. They just don't cool as well as the name brand stuff. I had a knockoff AFCO scirocco radiator that ran a good 8-12* hotter at cruising speed than the real one.
That being said you might get lucky and it work fine, you always take that risk with cheap eBay stuff.
I have a Mishimoto radiator that came off my car for the scirocco. I'd let it go for next to nothing if you're interested, it's just been taking up space for a couple years.

I understand, however the threads I have read mostly state the the cx racing is about the same as the Mishimoto. I have never bought a part off ebay, but how complicated is it to make a radiator? I understand the fans could be crap though.

Well if the core is junk and the welds are no good it will just leak or not cool that good. I would Pass and buy one you know is quality.

You guys sound right, ill check into Mishimoto. How hard is it to remove and install a new radiator on a 2g?

Easy bro, unplug the fans and like 2-4 bolts. Drain it and lift out. Trust me bro I had 2 eBay half radiators and both started leaking within a few months. Total waste of money and I ended up throwing the stock one back in and havnt had a problem since. I do have a mishimoto to throw in just havnt had time to move the bottom mounts over in the gvr4 to install how I want.

I wouldn't mind trying that radiator if I were you. I have a no name brand from eBay and have been using it for more that 5 years with no issues.
As for the fan, the best brand I have found so is from a company called Spal.
