Ron Davis radiator questions
Posted: 01 Mar 2016 03:32
Hi Guys,
I'm in the market for a new radiator for my SR20det 510. Getting more and more focused on track days, i've realised that my current Jap N13 radiator isn't up to the task and my car overheats after only a lap or two.
I've seen some people on this forum using Ron Davis 1A-22163 (22x16x3") which seems very well priced at $300us, and i'm hoping someone can answer my questions.
That part number is no longer listed, and they now list a 1S-22163. Is anyone aware of the difference between "1S" and "1A"?
Also, is there any reason why nobody used the 24163 (24" wide) or wider? According to my measurements, it should fit fairly easily, even with intercooler piping (I'm using a generic china 450x300x76 intercooler. My current radiator is about 27 inches wide). The CX racing radiators people use is about 28" if I'm not mistaken, so why go only 22 inch with the Ron Davis?
Is there something I am missing?
Surely bigger is better..?
Thanks for your help.
