P.S. To bring forward the ordering info to this page:

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. www.pwr-performance.com/

And the best part is how sturdy it is. You know that it will never break across the top like the stock ones do.

Correct. The top tank has been revised for better fitment.

Question Tom, can you weigh SubaFreak's factory rad to see how it compares to the PWR?

The billet cap is different too with a relief valve on it.

Our first batch didn't have that.

Could it be one of your fans' clutch is wearing out? Get one and get two new fans! That's the best!


Sometimes can we tell the radiator condition from the fans? My yellow is more often on Hi-spd than the teal one. The teal one is usually on low or medium spd. But after I cleaned up the reservoir abit on the yellow one, the both fans do run at Hi spd less often or none.......*during the same temps

If I'm earl, I will be very busy. I probably have to use stop watch to record which one runs first, how long, on what spd and etc. Luckily, I'm not him

Congrats on your purchase, chike.

That looks good and shiny. Before you install that, you can probably carry that to sleep for a couple nights. Your engine bay will be more shiner next time.

One more thing...

I spoke with TomsSVX this weekend, and he mentioned that previously when filling up the factory rad it would take ~1.5 gallons (or 6qts) of coolant/water. Now with the PWR radiator is takes 2 gallons (8 qts). That's roughly 25% more coolant which will improve the cooling of our engines under high load.
