PWR Aluminum Radiator - GROUP BUY #2!!!!
 
I worked out the details with Brandon this week, and PWR has agreed to let their current stock of 12 SVX aluminum radiators go for $450 + shipping (~$30 give or take).

I'd like to try and get 11 serious buyers (+1 for myself) together and ready to go by November 1st at the latest! Do not sign up if you do not have the funds to make payment immediately. If we get 12 people together by next week, we'll pay PWR next week.

Thanks!

Is this the revised radiator design?

I'll double check this with Brandon tomorrow. From what I understand, supplies of the first design ran out so all the radiators that re-filled their stock had the new caps and revisions...

My radiator is fine ...now...but... Can I get some more info on the benefits of this over an OEM replacement? Is there a site I can check out. Thanks in advance!

P.S. My radiator is in perfect condition as well - I'm upgrading as I race my SVX and the PWR radiator is thicker, more durable and improves the cooling of our engine!

Ill give you an advantage... security... You are not going to have to worry about your tanks cracking and busting open on the side of the road. Not to mention the 5 pass cooler allows for much better cooling of the auto. The core on these rads are about twice the size of an SVX OEM, and that tells you something in and of itself...

I spoke with Brandon...
 
...and all the radiators they have in stock have the following revisions made from the first batch:

1) Revised cap and shortened top tank (no hood clearance issues)
2) Lower fan mounting tabs were adjusted for a better fit

I'll be purchasing mine in the next 1-2 hours. :)

P.S. Here's a pic of the batch #1 radiator installed in TomsSVX's ride:

For comparison...

as you can see, the PWR rad is much thicker even looking at the tanks... look at your OEM rad... it gets about 1/2" thinner underneath the tanks, the PWR rad is as thick as the tanks all they way making them about 50% larger :eek: thus giving us a 50% better cooling system :eek: .... I should be a salesman.... :cool:

I might be interested in their hose clamp's,and possibly silicone hoses as well if they come in red.

Chiketkd 10-14-2005 01:41 PM

To order...
 
...call PWR directly at 877-656-9256 and ask to speak with Georgetta. Tell her you are ordering the SVX Aluminum radiator with the Group Buy arranged with Brandon for $450 + shipping.

They typically ship the rads out the same day. They do sell silicone hose and clamps. Just go to their website and look under 'Misc'

www.pwr-performance.com/

P.S. Btw, I just ordered mine! :)

They have silicone hoses for the SVX as well?

I thought only Dayle had hoses?

They have generic silicone hoses. You have to select what you want from their website. Their hoses come in red, blue and black.
