New Alum Radiator

[Steve_N]

While shopping for a New Radiator I ran across this one by Haste Engineering. Anyone use this or know about there quality in general?

Don't know if good or not. Heard Koyo is the better aftermarket rad out there. But you can get the Toyota rad cheaper and it's guaranteed to work for sure. Got it for $225.00 brand new.

I'm actually going to pick one of these up in the not so distant future. I was going to ask about them, but knew that nobody had tried it yet. I'll buy one.

looks like with alittle mexican engineering it will be awesome. 3 rows!

hmmm. is it so thick you cant fit a pull fan on it anymore?

I know when you do e-fans to push style they loose there efficiency

 

[starscream5000]

Good God that thing is huge! Look at the price, not bad, not bad at all . Can you still fit the stock fan on there though?

 

[starscream5000]

Actually, I think the PWR radiator is a little bigger, isn't it 57mm thich whereas this one is 52mm? Doesn't really matter much to me though since this radiator is easily $100.00 cheaper than any PWR rad. I know the PWR fit no probs, so there shouldn't be any issue with this one unless the fan shroud doesn't bolt on, but it looks like the provisions are there for the shroud .

I pm'd this guy a while back about the Haste radiator ...
This is a Quote from Flubyux2:

"It takes some modification to the bottom of the core support. the bottom tank is so big that it hits the pinch weld on the core support. so you have to get vice grips and bend that pinch rail almost completely vertical so it wont rub a hole in the bottom tank. the top tank is smooth with no place to reuse the stock brackets. im making some out of 1.5" wide aluminum stock from home depot. then im going to rivit/weld 0.5" 90* aluminum channel so the new strap will hold the rad from going front or back. almost 2/3 of hte top tank sits higher than the upper core support. oh, and the kickout on the driverside part of the coresupport, just above where the coolant overflow hose and AC lines come thru has to be hammered over about 10mm to clear the side of the core."

PWR is a direct fit
(I made sure of this)

 

[oscolivar1]

Ian you should be getting paid from PWR since you helped them out.... or are you already.

Oliver: LOL not a cent all I wanted was a rad that fitted correctly

 

[mkIIIman089]

You get what you pay for...

 

[starscream5000]

^true, but the slight mods needed to make this fit are negligable (sp?) and is no worse than some other radiators that some members custom fit into the supra because they are cheaper than rads specifically made for our car . The concept here is performance vs. cost effectiveness.

 

[mkIIIman089]

To be honest I would have paid a little more if PWR had made the overflow barb not leak... twice. LOL

what is the thickest Al Rad for our cars?

The PWR I keep hearing is the John Holmes of the radiator world for our cars??

 

[starscream5000]

^Pretty much, unless you buy a bigger radiator that's not specifically made for the supra, but you may start running into fitment issues with anything bigger than the PWR or the radiator we are talking about here, they're almost the same size. I don't see why you need anything bigger than either one of these . If you do, you've got problems elsewhere...

I think that if the radiator would fit with a little bracket fabrication of your own, then why not?

Making brackets to hold that radiator is a peice of cake.

Cheers,
