hello guys!!

i have a31 cefiro with rb20det engine..

im building it with a tight budget.. been eating canned food and instant noodles for months T_T

there are plenty of radiators out there.. currently using standard r32 rads and it wont keep the engine cool after a few drift runs..

oh yes, i have'nt install an oil cooler as well, thinkin of getting one too..

found some radiators on ebay..

they're called KLS performance, SABER, and some others doesnt even have a description...

are they really worth buying? i really need help from the RB masters out there to help me pick a decent radiator

thank you!!

A radiator should be from 350-700 IMO. Any cheaper and i'd be questioning the build quality.

How about a R31 radiator?

The AUS delivered model is MUCH bigger than the import one, and would be cheap to come by too and perfect for what you need

anyone have any recommendation for the cheapest good radiator i can buy? (not those silly chinese built thou)

is the oil cooler really necessary after doing the mods?

ive got rb20det engine with aftermarket fmic, vg30 turbo, 3" freeflow exhaust,@ 1 bar produces 325hp @6500rpm controlled by std ecu and unichip piggyback..

i just started bulding it this year..

Ran one of those Mspec ones on my old rb20 putting out nearly 240rwkw...did a few track days and temps were fine...just make sure you have proper shrouding for the radiator...should cost you around the $300 mark...

have a look at the isc-performance radiators 52mm twincore alloy, i use 1 in my cefiro, n it has no dramas keeping my car cool at all, doesnt get over 83degrees, they r $300+ postage if i remember correctly. also ryan is very good to deal with as well. so check them out.

oh btw is that 83 degrees by F or C ??

oh yea, and it sez alloy, so would it rust? :) coz usually racing rads r made by aluminium

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
