ARC radiator for dc2r

[djrice]

The PWR website lists the RRP as $735 AUD, surely they are cheaper in Australia somewhere.

Buying an Australian product from the USA seems a little twisted.

repco sell PWR gear now

szy - do you have a temperature gauge in your car?

prevention is better than the cure

hey guys thanks for all the input. ive decided to get a new stock radiator.the ARC one, although very tempting, was 4x as expensive..

[tinkerbell]

so what was the peak coolant temp. at last track day?

How much was a replacement OEM?
I would've just gone for a Koyo. Atleast you know it's better than stock.

haha was trying to post the link here also

anyway, dc4 auto and dc2 vti-r have thicker radiator than dc2r right?

[tinkerbell]

post facelift VTiR is same thickness... but with slightly different tanks...

mm..dunno..looks like koyo's factory is in indonesia? according to their website? i went for stock, as if i had gone aftermarket, i know i would have regretted not geting the ARC..

tinks, last track day peak coolant temp was ~ 100-110degC from memory. peak oil temp was 130degC. as soon as the water temp goes over 100, oil temp almost reaches 130, i do 2 cooldown laps..

[tinkerbell]

my coolant at last track day peaked at 117'C which resulted in spliting my radiator bottom tank...

FYI - there are several Koyo factories in Japan:

last time i ran 1 warm up, 1-2 hot laps then 1 cool down lap... then atleast 20 minutes break and repeat on the track.. and the car was still "stinking hot" in the pits (i have no temp guage but the water temp didnt move).. and that was a cool day..

imagine the nov track day turns out to be 35 degrees or something? (considering Adelaide got 38degrees today)

it could be a nightmare.

how hot was in on your last track day Tinkerbell?

[tinkerbell]

it was only around 22-24 degrees, but i was running in two sessions (two drivers), so only had 15 minute break between sessions...

it lasted 4 sessions before the problem arose...

also your B20 would run a bit hotter as its making more power...

hmm..yes i have been on the koyo homepage..i noticed they had several factories in japan and in indonesia. i would prefer not to have an indonesian radiator in my car, id rather a standard japanese denso..actually i emailed koyo to find this info out but no response yet.
