Re: Radiator Needed

It'll work great..

Before I put mine in, I let the car idle, with the ventilation system off ( no fans until temp threshold ), and used the OBD2 port and dongle for an accurate temp reading. Then checked how quick the temp dropped when the fans kicked in.

Did the same test with the AMR rad.. Significantly quicker temp drop once the fans started. The supplied fans pull way more air through the rad than the stock set up. I just wish that they could have supplied a compatible multi speed type, like the stock ones were.

In traffic, with the vent system calling for fans, I never see more than 89 C. As the sensor reads from higher up in the block ( closer to exit temp), I'd think it's safe to assume that at the bottom of the rad, where the trans cooling line runs, it's keeping the trans significantly cooler than the stock rad.
