    Nice radiators, my only is with their fans , not enough flow for me , my flex o lite fans are 4200 cfm and I think the ones they have are 2200. I ordered just the radiator . I'll put the big fans on her when it shows up .

      Radiator is great. Fans are barely adequate but get the job done. This car is now twin turbo and making just north of 900hp and while this setup is getting the job done, I feel like some fans with a little better airflow would definitely be beneficial.

    How's it holding up? I bought a radiator from them for my nova back in 2020 and it's leaking from where the tubes are welded or brazed to the tanks. Just asking because obviously I need a new one but don't wanna be back in the same position 3 years from now. Only ran my car maybe 40 or 50 times and mostly short trips since I've installed it. Hoping this is just a fluke because their prices are great but if I buy another one for 300 bucks and it leaks I should have just bought one of the the $600+ rads off of summit or jegs

      That’s the only issue so far. I’m waiting to hear back from them. Since I plan to run a remote cooler anyway it’s really not a huge deal other than causing me to hold off even longer on the turbo build but for others who don’t plan to use a remote cooler it would be a bigger problem and it frustrates me because of that.

      If you notice the fan blades are curved. This makes quieter like propellers on a submarine. If you need room and the front is best on your project, order a radiator w/o fans then by pushers for front mount. Just use the thermostatic switch on the ground side of the relays. (Same for LS PCM, programed for 170 on fan #1, 190 on fan #2.) Use a 30amp relay but measure constant amp ops. with a digital amp clamp. They are $60 or so now. Always know the circuits amperage to install correct wire size, fuse or relay if building from scratch.

      @@milkhouse01ja Just for Reference, CC runs around 205-210 cruising around. When I’m making passes I try to get to the line as close to 200 as possible and usually end up at 210-215 at the ends of the run. Chinavette ran between 210-225 bone stock. My Avalanche runs around 210 bone stock, and the DR Nova is the coolest of the bunch running around 200-205. There’s really no benefit to running these LS engines super cold. I generally shoot for the 200-210 area. 👍

    The radiators are pretty good. But one thing that must be said. The fans suck. 80-90 watts with like 6amp draw. You be lucky if you get 800CFM out of one of them. I installed the rad on my 5.3 heavily tuned and performance parts. The fans can’t keep up. When I contacted alloyworks. They told me each fan is rated at 1700cfm. It’s not anywhere near that…. I was overheating everytime I came to a stop light. In the 220-230s. Had to replace the fans with 180watt 15am. Units…. Actual 1750 CFM. Problem solved. So buyers beware…. And customer service sux as well… good luck y’all

    • @BadLuckGarage
      @BadLuckGarage  Рік тому +1

      I’ve actually talked about these fans in other videos over the last few years and I agree they aren’t the best. But the car we’ve had this setup in for the last 3 years is twin turbo 5.3 and making just over 900hp as shown in more recent videos and these fans are doing the job just fine. Car generally runs around 190-200. Sometimes creeps up to 205-210 in traffic. Would better fans cool it down faster? Absolutely, but the only time the car has ever ran hot with these fans is was when it tossed the belt at the track in a 5 second pass.(also shown in more recent videos). And this is in a 3rd gen Camaro which are notorious for having poor airflow to radiator and running hot.
