Aluminum Radiators with 5 pass trans cooler!

[mbtoloczko]

I am interested but need to have more reassurance that it will be properly designed for the SVX. It would be good to have a response on Earthworm's note about the thickness of the core. Do you know how layers the company plans to make the core?

Tempting.............. I'll have to see how well the SVX's radiator is... I may be in on this thought, since I need a new radiator anyway

Chris,
Are you sure that this will be a drop in? it seems that some people would love to get it if it was. I am willing to make some modifications for this to work but others are concerned about it. Get in touch with them and just double check for us. thnx

One modification would be to relocate the power steering cooler. That would allow some extra room between the radiator and A/C.

Keep in mind that more rows is not always better. Generally speaking, more rows will cool the water more effectively at high speeds, but a lower speeds, its more difficult to get air through the radiator, and this can make the car run hotter driving around town at relatively low speeds. I would like to see a radiator with the same number of rows but with just a more efficient design and better durability.

i just want better tanks. never had a problem with the svx running hot. never before last weekend ever had a problem w/ the radiator at all. now i just want stronger tanks the core can be the same id they want to keep it simple.

BTW i might bail on this if it doesn't get going soon. i can buy a new radiator and try to fab aluminum tanks for the blown one probly before this happens. Just letting u know i am getting antsy

We need to get moving on this or we are going to force those with an immediate(star52) need to move on. Can we pitch $50.00 more per unit and get this going?

Chris,

Put me down for one of these radiators w/ AFT cooler.
Send me a PM with the adress where I send the check.

Thanks.

The ball is already rolling. As of today a cracked tank factory SVX radiator should be in stransit to PWR for them to measure and such. Just becuse they asked for 20 orders, did not stop them from starting the project. Will keep you all informed.

As for more and or less cores, the main section of the radiator should not differ from the facotry one. This is gonig to be as close to a factory radiator as possible. The only things that might be a tad difference will be tank size and heat exchanger in the lower tank for the tranny fluid.

awsome, whats the time frame from here on out so people needing a radiator like myself can know whats going on with their cars. thnx

[Earthworm]

How much cheaper would it be to have the radiators made without the tranny cooler? (for us 5 speeders)

[Earthworm]

For those with a little patience and want to see what an all-metal radiator could look like for the SVX I have several pictures at http://svx-iw.com/pics/radiator/ of my failed installation attempt.

I say patience because they are large pics and will take a little while to download off my computer.

[TomsSVX]

what was wrong w/ that one? why didn't it work

[Earthworm]

The dimensions were relatively good but the core was too thick. (couldn't mount the fans).

Also look at the pics of it installed. (hood couldn't close)
