Uprated Aluminium Radiator

[Swiss_Toni]

I've noticed that both Ultima and Radtec http://radtec.co.uk/products/491/Ultima.htm both offer Uprated Aluminium Radiators.

Does anyone have any experience with either or know of any pro or cons?

Is there anyone else that offer these?

Cheers

I understand it being used as crash structure but I don't know how useful it would be as mine is mounted on 4 small rubber vibration isolators.....

Hi Daniel,

Did you go for the uprated Alu rad?

Thanks for the feedback.

Interesting discussion....

As this for a race car the Aluminum one is the easy choice, at -12 KG how could I say no...

Though the comments did make me think and a quick Google came up with this http://www.caparadiator.com/aluminumvscopper.html

The long and the short of is pick your application and requirements and either one will be good (as long as it's a good rad).

Does someone have pictures of the latest greatest rad fan installation?

The other thing I noticed is that the front clam opening for the exit from the rad doesn't line up with the rad (the clam opening is quite a bit smaller). In addition there large holes at the side of the exit duct which "vent" into the wheel well. All in all it doesn't strike me as very efficient.

Does some have a ideas for a better installation (again picture would be a help)?
