CSF Radiator + Condenser, Upgrade

370Ztune

The way I look at it is; hit the core of the problem. Why add more parts to your car when the problem can be fixed by upgrading an existing? On top of that, it improves the cooling of the entire engine instead of just the oil.

Replacing the radiator seems to make the most sense to me. Let me know if you feel otherwise.

Well...Ultimately the Thermostat will regulate the engine water temp. A larger more efficient radiator will just cause the thermostat to close down to maintain its setting of roughly 180 degrees. In normal day to day driving I would expect no difference...

That said, under racing conditions where the Radiator may near it's upper limit of cooling, an uprated radiator will help by raising the (water) cooling overhead though no one has mentioned this as an issue to date

So when all is said and done, there is a market for this part albeit a small one. Track cars and FI turbo'd cars being the target I would guess.

Oil cooling is a whole separate issue and should be addressed with it's own cooler. Oil temps reported here seem to vary more by usage, then by engine water or ambient air temps

Well the biggest problem that the 370 has is the oil temperature, not the water. I know that better water cooling might help the oil abit. but honestly it wont so much a difference. I drove at spa francorchamps for a whole day and the water temperature if I remember was only one dot above the normal one. Oil was extremely hot.

Our current radiator seems to do its just quite well.

Well ofcourse if you send me one to test it out I wouldn't mind at aaaall
