Im just wondering if anyone can tell me exactly what makes an alloy radiator a lot better. I know they are more efficient in dissipating heat - can someone tell me any exact data on ratios of the two?

My old windsor likes to run a tad on the warm side, so i may look at an aluminium radiator if i intend to use the aircon later this summer. Its running a tad hot at the moment due to running lean and timing, but i still dont like the situation. The 14 and 12" thermos (round ones) do a shit job in cooling it. I wish i had the room for a shrouded OEM fan Sad

Ta guys

are the fans shrouded? or mounted directly on the radiator?

i found a big difference going from directly mounted fan, to having a shroud the entire width of the radiator, but only 40mm deep.

if you don't have space for a thin shroud, you might be better off looking at moving the radiator forward.....and making space for a shroud or engine fan...

as for the water pump, Meziere (sp?) make elec pumps for most V8 crap motors, and they are very different to the davies craig toys Wink
that would leave more space for you... and still be cheaper than an alloy radiator Wink
