sorry for the delay, but no, my turbo isn't water cooled. But, yes, this $$$ RD radiator dropped the coolant temp from 215+ (w/o a/c running) going up to my house from work, to 200 or under consistently. Did you think for a second I had $1600...
A front mounted intercooler will also help with your turbo setup- Once they are back in stock, from your "vendor". 😉
I will let you guys know how it performs !
@Marco Lau has a 3FE who knows is the clearance from the fan to the radiator is the same as a 1FZFE ? 🤷♂️
I run a TYC and it 10 years old and still doing it's job 😎 Happy with it !
Yesterday I came across a thread where the poster was showing cracks that had developed in a RD radiator with 100k miles on it. A bit of a turn off considering the cost of a RD unit. But before I saw that thread I ordered a new OEM radiator...
I have a turbo so a RD radiator was a no brainer for me. Let me put things into perspective as to how effective this radiator is at pulling out the heat.....you know that ball cooling vent we got below the steering column? My a/c is so cold, I...
Slight advantage is an understatement. Ron Davis cools very well, had one for over 4 yrs. Also tried a Copper/Brass and the cooling is much worst than aftermarket alum. In my experience, alum. cools a good 10-15F difference under the same...
This is absolutely the last example of my idea of down pipe heat wrap! I’ve been through more than I posted. This was the most difficult step of the turbo kit install for me.
Toyota brand radiator for 80 series. Part number 16400-66080. I bought it in 2019 and ran it until May 2023 which means about 15k miles. Only distilled water ever run in it. $100 plus shipping. I’m in Battle Ground, WA
Don't go off roading without out, IMHO. Around town, on the highway, probably not absolutely necessary. I wouldn't leave home without it, either way. Just my two cents.
