BigCav 464 Posted August 19, 2014 xebruce: while that is true EF style fans had no dramas sucking through my 5 core radiator at all, if it will do that 5 core burnout master it will do anything, the thing was huge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ronny 204 Posted September 12, 2014 Got a cheap one, $165 landed I got it customised a bit, the welder said it has very poor quality aluminium lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bear351c 10,270 Posted September 12, 2014 Nice job. Sorry to hijack, BigCav, what mods did you get done, Ronny? All up cost? Wanna sell it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ronny 204 Posted September 12, 2014 Nice job. Sorry to hijack, BigCav, what mods did you get done, Ronny? All up cost? Wanna sell it? All up cost $165 Plus contra deal on the mods Mods: "Cover plate" on top to hide the U channel, bung welded to tank for drain valve, overflow barb moved around 90 degrees on filler neck Sell it? $400 its yours then ill have to go buy and modify another one lol (having a valve for drainage on my current radiator and trying to work out the wierd thread (1/2" BSP) and buying the tap and making the bung was a pain in the A) 1 bear351c reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blu xe 825 Posted September 13, 2014 At $165 why wouldn't you give it a go. For so long its always been a case of you get what you pay for but it seems on some things its not always so. A customer of ours has a mustang with a pretty stout 363 Windsor and couldn't keep it cool with a alloy rad and electric fan package all bought through a very well known aussie company. Tried all sorts of the usual tricks to sort it and in the end a cheapy alloy ebay job that cost about what you guys spent with an au fan assembly did the job.

hendrixhc 10,920 Posted September 13, 2014 I had a look at the PBR and Aussie Desert Cooler units and while i would say their finish is far superior so is their pricing at roughly 4 times the price. I have also read of late of issues with leaks. Dont know if its true or not though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bear351c 10,270 Posted September 15, 2014 I think Aussie Desert is now owned by an overseas company, not sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Id say it was the fans that caused overheating issues and not the radiator The fans that came with my desert cooler were shit IMO a radiator leaks or it doesnt, its the air & water flow that matters Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
