    Alloy Radiator Recomendation

    Hi any recommendations for a good alloy radiator for my Renault 5 Gt. turbo, to keep temperature down , I've looked at so many and with such different prices , I did see one with twin fans but can't seem to find it as I never saved it , thanks

    The standard radiator is fine to be honest. Ff you're still running that I would consider just getting it re-cored. If you run a separate oil cooler and front mounted intercooler I would recommend the Renault Extra 1.6d radiator (eBay) If not probably any Chinese radiator on eBay will be o.k. for a time at least!

    Re: Alloy Radiator Recomendation

    I'd like to buy a radiator for my car.
    Currently I'm running on the diesel radiator with FMIC but I want to build back to original.
    Do you have experiences with the alloy radiators on ebay?
    As I've seen there is no more chance to buy an oem one.
    Any experiences on the alloy 5" intercoolers are also appreciated. (As the OEM is only for decoration. )
