Ebay Radiator or 1-800 radiator?

[sonik619]

Hey guys, my radiator neck broke and I'm on a lookout for a new radiator, I have found this one on ebay and was wondering if you guys have any experience with this? 1-800-radiator cost $150. The one on ebay is like $50 more than the other one and it comes with 2 slim fans. Can anyone tell me the quality of this radiator? Thanks in advance .

For a few bucks more than the first link, Punishment/CX racing radiator comes with 2 fans as well.

All ebay aluminum raditators are usually pretty good. I would use at least one stock fan if you can. They push a lot more air than any slim line. I know someone runnin an ebay radiator on gt35r car that ran on a road track all day and he never gets hot. Im going to get one soon for my 1g.

You can do both fans if you close the relay for the AC fan which is under the relay/fuse cap by the right strut on 1G's. Find the AC fan relay, pull it out and make a switched jumper wire between the two sockets where you pulled the relay.

Or, on 1G's is to push the climate button in on first click then turn the fan switch to low, this will get both fans running (if the AC has been disconnected..) when key is on since it closes both fan's relays.

eBay radiators are fine, I bought 1 and I had no problems with it.

You're likely to find they're the same radiator. Everything's coming from overseas, and I don't know that there's more than a couple of companies actually making radiators.

I agree they are all about the same. Find the cheapest you can.

I would check eBay 1st. I bought a nearly new one last year for $50 shipped, and you can't tell me that wasn't a deal!
