Champion radiators

Has anyone tried these radiators? They look the goods and cheap as well!!

 

I have 77 260z so figured this would suit mine.

The only thing with the eBay Ally radiators is that they are all IDENTICAL! As in, they all come from the same factory in china! I am not pulling your leg, I looked in to all of them when I was deciding what to do with my car and tracked every supplier back to the same factory in china. I can't remember the manufacturer tho. In the end I had cash burning a hole in my pocket and went with a PWR version, which is bigger and more efficient again than the china ones.

 

Unfortunately, all the china versions are are an Aluminium version of a 3-core brass radiator. This makes them heavier and less efficient than a custom designed aluminium radiator, but it should still do the trick.

 

However, the people I know with them have said good things about them and certainly no longer have overheating issues, even on the track in 40 degrees+ air temp. You're looking at around $300-350 landed from memory, depending on who you buy it from.

 

Be warned tho, the fins are RIDICULOUSLY easy to bend, so a lot of care must be taken when installing it and working around the car.

 

Have a look around eBay and just purchase the cheapest and or one with the least branding, to suite your taste.

 

Did I mention easy to bend fins? They're insane!

I got one of these champion aluminum radiators, mine is 4core and came with fan shroud and twin electric fans. Landed it was $390, works great in peak hour traffic or on the track flat out. If you get the 4core like mine just be aware that with the shroud and fans you cannot run the original vicous fan as there's not enough room. So it's one or the other.
