RA23/28 radiator upgrade

[CLG]

For ease of fitment and finish, I'd simply three core your standard radiator Joel. I had this setup on my RA28 and never had an issue, on both street and circuit.

Pube, it's strange that it's hotter on the track. I thought there would be better airflow at the higher speeds and also the water pump running faster at higher revs.

I also would've thought a recoed 28 rad. would be fine for a 1G. There is no chance the the thermo fan is running in reverse and trying to pull air through forward is there?

dont forget, the faster the water flows (ie rpm turning pump), the less it cools....as it doesnt have time to dissipate heat through the radiator...Just gets hotter and hotter.

Hey all, not sure if everyone noticed but this was an old thread of mine dug up? But my heating problems were all sorted with the new excel radiator, good ducting.
Cheers

Thats the info I wanted is a possible upgrade. I remembered reading someone/you were playing with an excel or camira radiator. Is the excel radiator a good fit? have you got a pic?

[TurboRA28]

Yeah excel fitted nicely.. The camira I have also heard is a good one to go for, but it got in the way of IC pipes on my 3S.

That shows the old on in there.. But got a new one now. Mounted the same now except I have a piece of stainless that runs along the top between the radiator support and the top tank just to seal it up better and some foam down the sides.
