Suggestion for radiators anyone? I'm looking at getting one to aid with cooling. Be specific if you can.

Three choices:
-CSF
-Mishimoto
-GTM

CSF seems to be the most common so far, for price & performance. Some have gone with Mishimoto but on the other side many forums members advice to skip over this company for poor production & quality issues. Lastly is GTM currently, probably the "best" upgrade on the market, but also is the most expensive. For an ideal budget setup, I would advice on the CSF with GTM fan upgrade. The GTM fan upgrade bolts right onto the CSF radiator and directly into the factory harness so no additional wiring is required. Better radiator and better fans is the ideal way to go.

Hmm.. I'll look into the GTM one first..then the CSF with fan. For some reason I'm not sure if I want the fan upgrade. Would it not be efficient enough without it? By the way...thanks for the help on the build.

the CSF with fan is still much, much cheaper than the GTM.

I'll probably be looking into that.

I'm weighing it out. Thicker radiator means better cooling..correct? So 30mm is better than 14. So if the CSF radiator is 30mm plus a fan that'd be the "ideal" set up. What if I got GTM's 70mm? Would that be good enough to not get the fan? I'm just looking at options. In my mind less moving parts is less chance for error (of any kind). Unless even with that size of a radiator (not tracking the car) it'd be pointless without the fans.

Thoughts?

From my understanding, the GTM radiator doesn't work with the stock fans.

If I were going FI right now I would personally do the biggest radiator I could fit. And are you talking about ditching a radiator fan altogether in exchange for a bigger radiator? I hope not! lol. But if you are talking about having an extra smaller fan, then yes, I'd still go for it. They don't just quit working like that. Like anything that is FI in the aftermarket, you always have to pay more attention to the car and watch for things that are failing on a regular basis.

Voice59 · 10-29-2013, 03:59 PM

Well...GTM's radiator is a little rich for my blood.

theDreamer · 10-29-2013, 04:00 PM

Just the radiator is good, but moving air through the system will be good for everything.
Engine, supercharger, etc. I would lay out pricing so you can see what it boils down to, also remember if you are ripping out the radiator it is cheaper to throw in the new fans now than later in terms of labor.
