Radiators?

[chicane]

The radiator I posted about above... was right around $650.00 by itself... then about another $145 for the Mark VIII fan when you could still get the good one.

Dave,
Do you have any pictures of it?

check out the radiator at Entropy Corp. on ebay it works great and priced very well,I have bought 2 and the quality is very nice.

At 700 hp I would go with the larger tubing. Jim can advice you but there are so many variables. I had to redo enough that the radiator is not one I wanted to risk. I also had mine polished and it is excellent looking. The dual vipers is what came with the larger tube. Not sure if this is true for the standard model. I have a 632 with 800+ at the flywheel and it gives some heat My car is covered in a the Project Update Forum under one of Holahans threads. The later pics have my rad installed. I can send more pics if you want. I, like you, will do some autocross and road racing but also wanted a great look. THe customer service is also great and jim turned a part i needed modifeid very quickly at no cost. I also am not thrilled with the upper panelling and I had mine polished. It is excellent work but to tone down the shine up front I will eventually "enhance" the finish. It is just not a high priortiy at this time.

I actually placed an order with autorad yesterday. I was speaking with Karen and the way she spoke was 700 hp was no problem with the smaller core. She also said that I can control the fans with the engine computer and would not need their controller. Does anyone know how this is done? or is it just easier to go with theirs? it is $120 for the preset controller or $145 for the programable one.. fairly cheap if it is going to cause a headache not having one.

Hey Kev - I bought the Autorad w the fan controller. As I understand it - and I could be wrong - the ECU does an on or off for both the fans. I will wire in-line the controller so it gets the the on signal from the ECU and the controller decides when to turn the second fan on/off. That's my plan anyway...

Ron,
I haven't the first clue about wiring so I will let you invent the wheel here...

I did not do the controller from AutoRad. I have mine fully controlled thru my ECM. THis includes temp they start. temp they stop even after shut down, coming on and off based on the AC and even turning the AC at times. one fan vs two fan at temps all is done thru my Electromotive ECM

It is not hard. and the actual wiring is less and more important integrated with these other variables which I like

Basically is what you are saying is you have your ECU doing everything that the autorad controller will do but with a little cleaner installation.
Did you get your ECU with a custom program to control your fans? (is that possible?)
Thanks for all the info.
