Aftermarket Fez Turbo Radiator

Postby TerryTurbs on Wed Apr 22, 2009 6:47 pm

Hi all, im looking for an aftermarket standard rad for my Fiesta RS Turbo. Had a lot of hassle with the last couple so im buying new. Anyone know the better places to buy regarding price and quality ? My local autoparts says they are obsolete and i dont want to try Ford themselves yet.

Any suggestions

Thanks

P.S. I been told the xr2i does and dosent fit and i believe it dosent yet the guy in the autoparts said to try an XR3 radiator :o !!! presuming this dosent make sense

Auto specialists do airtech ones in black or silver.

I'n not a fan of airtech ones as there a bit of a poor fit

I went for a Radtech one

its a proper arse to fit a xr2i rad to a standard FRST id imagine. i didnt have that problem when my piss poor FRST rad blew its end tank off. as id gone for a front mount intercooler and T3 conversion as well i had to make every thing fit in one go, so just went for a xr2i rad as id heard good results and they where right. i now have cooling like a normal car :lol: and at 39 quid for a brand new radiator, id be happy to renew it once a year as a service item :D that said, this rad has seen about 4 years trouble free service so far :)

Radtech too for me, looks nice and works a treat even on higher than std boost.
