Toyosports Radiator(China) and Cooling experience

[boki_s78]

Hi ppl!

Is here anybody running his ca with that kind of Radiator which is made in china? I mean, the names are differrent, this one i have is 52mm thick and it has twin water channel core design.



What i would like to know is, how does it work combined with the ca water pump?
Is the pump good enough or should i get some external electric water pump?

I've never heard of the water pump being and issue on the CA with any size radiator.

Looks like most cheap aftermarket aluminum radiators with toyosports spray painted on it. Like float says, no problems with CA water pumps and big radiators. If you must know, I use the same radiator less the toyosports logo on it and my car stays cool and normal.

Thx guys,
there is big discussion in german forums about the water pump and twin water channel core
thatswhy i asked here.
The logo is going to dissapear anyways ... was the cheapest on ebay.co.uk...if id buy it from usa ebay, the shipping cost would rip my a** and take too long couse i need it asap so thats fine

dont mean to thread jack but...what kind of fans are everybody using? I have a 14" CXRacing fan and I have to have a 15A fuse to keep it running..i feel like that is quite high IMO...

Do you have a fan controller?

I'm running Altima fans and just got a auto-lite fan controller...

[sjbsuperman1425]

Yea i have an adjustable one which I am replacing with a non-adjustable one for simplicity..

X2 ebay 12" slim fans and they work flawlessly.

Don't your SDS have a fan controller on it?

[sjbsuperman1425]

Dee, what size fuses do you have? I feel like my amp draw from this fan overstresses my charging system and ultimately makes me lose power..

I purchased the fan controller before buying the SDS... I'm deciding if I should marry the two and have the SDS trigger the auto-lite, use the auto-lite on its own, or just use the sds w/relay. The advantage of the auto-lite controller is when it triggers the fan's it turns the fans on from 0-60-100% where as the relay is 0-100%
