Guys-
Ok so I'm looking back into the aluminum radiator thing again - now that I know my stock radiator is the source of my leak. It sweems many have ditched the aux rad when going to the big aluminum radiators.
However I don't see the benefit of ditching the aux rad, personally, other than easier access to the timing belt cover and fewer hoses. I've already purhcased all new (within a year or so) radiator hoses so it's notliek I can now avoid buying that expensive lower rad hose...already ponied up...
I guess I just don't want to buy an expensive alum rad (adding cooling ability) and ditch to aux rad (losing cooling ability) only to find that I'm back where I started....
Plus the new rad must have mounting for a/c, stock fan shroud. Looks liek the Ron Davis rad does - thanks for the great pics Chris Q.
FWIW keep in mind patient has 3B engine running ~20 psi through RS2 turbo and we have 90-100F heat often in the summer, plus I live at 5000 ft with trips to mountains (cooler air but higher altitude). _Rarely_ tracked - but it's not out of the question...
Ideas? Opinions? etc?
as always-thx
Brandon
