I see..... nice also what. But thailand one how much cost? 2 row also?

For the 2 row alum radiator
thaiwan/thailand made full body alum radiator
is better than (in term of material/built quality)
Japan plaster top part + alum body ?
both 2 row, the efficiency should be same, right..?
how about the durability, anti-corrosion, etc

actually i am going to upgrade mine from single to double row,
one shop called me today that a 2 row just drop from container,
Is my decision ok to get this ?

Since many bro in this thread already had the upgraded radiator,
pls give an advise

really cool temp according to my experience, normal radiator reach half on factory temp gauge, using 2 row aluminium, drop another half of factory temp gauge.l dont not put too strong coolent into aluminium radiator, use those type adding water coolent....

FYI,

if using SVT or BT, need to relocate the aircorn hose near the front engine mount, cos if u put 2 row radiator , it will block it...

engine bt . i also facing the same problem, have to refill water tank once in 2days.

no matter what super duper radiator u use, your temp should never go
down. The normal operating temperature of most car are around 90 degree
celsius give or take a few degree. This is the most optimum & perfect
temperature for a running engine. Ever wondered why your thermostat
maintain the temp to be around the 90 degree mark? ... low temp is
not good... high temp is not good also.

my car working temp is around 75- 80 degree....90 is too high for my car... my car is using low temp thermostat...i can say is more powerful than b4 i change to big radiator and low tehrmostat.... for 90 degree, it can be normal engine, if for high compression engine, 90 degree already too high.....

After reading bout the problems ....the reason y the coolant can't be suck back to radiator ...one of the cause is tat the spare tank cap was not properly close.......so there is no pressure for the coolant to flow/suck back...

another reason tat can cause tis coolant insufficient but no leak is tat the cooling system was not properly bleed....means there is air inside the water passage in the head or block and even the hose ....whenever there is air means there will be vapour due to hot temperature especially on high rev....

i hope i can help out the problems by sharing tis ......

[toneWorks]

But once time before when i drove a long distance then i checked the spare tank.. no level changed.. but when it used for certain time for just limit area n when 2 or 3 days then the level decreased.. huh.. puzzled.. it changed for a long time but for long journey its possible not..

pls give an advise

since there is no comment feedback from all bro,
i had decided and bought the full alum radiator where i found a chop shop got fews unit and they said selling cheap cheap to me bcos got fews unit. there are no thai or taiwan product, there are chop shop item from japan.
i dont know the market price but i still take 2 units where i feel is not expensive, i worry the durability of the alum, look like the anti-corrossion is poorer than the copper type radiator.. so i make one for back-up unit

any care should be taken to keep the backup alum radiator in store ?

 

[n0th1n]

how much the radiator?
maybe a friend interested if the price reasonable

 

[sincere1]

the chop shop sold to 2 units rm1k, asked further discount and gave me rm50 off, what for rm50 only, end i pay rm1k dont want the rm50 off...i think it is cheap cos i always get friend-price / potong-good price
