We would like to introduce our custom built 82mm Competition Radiator for the serious enthusiats. On a road coarse (drift, autoX, road race) coolant tempatures are very important and can sometimes be difficult to keep down under certain conditions, more so with sleeved, high hores power engines.
This radiator is not for the ordinary consumer making 500rwhp as other radiators on the market have shown to suffice, but rather for a 600 rwhp track car, that is constantly being pushed to its limits.
One of our customers that we built a 4.2L stroker engine with APS extreme kit drifts his car and needed the added cooling, after installing this radiator upgrade the car was drifting at the Horse Theif Mile in Willow Springs Raceway, Ca for 6 hrs. The coolant temperature never exceeded 90 degrees celsius that day as reported by the customer.
Due to the nature of this being a full race radiator in order for it to fit properly removal of the A/C condenser is needed which would make the car loose its A/C system, usually in a race car this is not a problem or concern.
Made to order you can have one of these within 1-3 weeks from date of purchase.
You know what they say... Walk softly and carry a big... uhh... radiator.
That's extreme indeed, and looks like a really nice piece for a track only car. I wonder how the cooling effect would compare to a 53mm radiator and active oil coolers.

vortechs cant use it for sure (but, how many vortechs would need it), and any other kit that has the charge pipe running behind the rad, but beautiful piece for sure.

Do you guys have any track data to compare with the big Koyo rad?
If so what kinda temps are you guys recording with a Koyo and this 82mm rad, and at what track.. i.e drag strip, road course, ambient temp ect. ?
Thanks for the compliments guys, we appreciate it.
This radiator takes a total of 3.5 gals to fill the cooling system :O
We do not have any track data to compare this to other radiators on the market, just what our customer report to us. This was a custom made radiator for a car that is only used for drifting, so we needed something to keep the temps down on a sleeved engine and it did the trick.
Sleeved engines tend to run a bit hot on a road coarse, especially if you are drifting

Nice! Nothing better than your customers putting things to the test

That car would be fun on the track.
