    Default WTB 1.6 Radiator

    I put a hole in my stock Radiator last night while trying to remove the A/C and I am looking for a replacement. I would prefer either an all aluminum radiator or one from an automatic.

    Give a shout out to Gary @ Track Dog Racing for an aluminum one.

    If you get a cheapie all-metal aftermarket automatic radiator, be sure to keep the mounting brackets off the side of your old radiator. They won't be needed for the aftermarket but if you ever decide to go all aluminum then you'll need the brackets.

    Lightness? What's that? I drive a PRHT!

    I have some gently used steel ones for $50.

    What do you mean by gently used and I didn't know there were steel radiators?

    Out of street cars that were made into track cars. These are the basic replacement metal top radiatiors.

    I had a "basic replacement metal top radiator" in my NA that I aucrossed in very hot weather. I never had any heating issues with the exception of a dead fan one time. Unless you are using forced induction, one of these should suffice if money matters.

    Ya, I am running a greddy kit and plan on pushing around 10-12 psi. All Aluminum may be the only option

    Most likely meant brass, as was common before the plastic top radiators came out.
