CUSTOM MADE RADIATORS


In my search to rectify overheating subaru engines, I have spoken to many so-called radiator experts.

But I just wanted to recommend 'AUSSIE DESERT COOLERS' in victoria.

I had not heard of them until recently, but they have been around a long time, very knowledgable, and reasonable price.

Norm (owner) used to race off-road years ago, and was the only fabricator who agreed in principal and was willing to build a multipass radiator to what I wanted (he actually builds most of his radiators that way) ......unlike some other fabricators who stick to the 'status-quo'!   

Now I just need to hope it works?

Got my radiator good service! The appearance and build quality is not as good as PWR, but........... 

Has anyone heard (which I have been told), that PWR import radiators from china....which is the reason they dont like to build multi-pass?

 I dont wish to 'put-down' a brand that has been good to off-road, but if this is the case it might have saved me 2 years of overheating problems!!!

Steve my Torana has a 350 chev it had a standard type 4 core radiator it would run hot usually around 190F but in traffic it would go 210F
Every year we went to summernats if you have been there you will understand  we did 1-2 laps and it would go 220-240F
Then last year while down there i put a PWR cross flow radiator in it and we couldnt get it over 185  it would cool down to 175 then up to 185 fan comes in back to 175 i would back there stuff 100%

Yes i know its not off road but its proof . Quality is 100%

I realise that they custom build radiators, but I wonder if their standard replacement units (mine is ef ford) are built overseas?

As for the quality (even if they are chinese) the PWR one I had was far better fabricated than my replacement, but is it as efficient?

I can assure everyone that they build all their radiators themselves and their plate and tube is made in the USA they sold their mass production plant at currumbin a while ago but even then they were all built inhouse not outsourced
