Swiftech Radiator Comparison

ProHandyman · 12-26-2005, 10:15 PM

Found this recent posting on Swiftech's website: An Assesment of Radiator Performance.

This is BillA's radiator test that he said he had done, but was not sure when, or if it would be released.

I see that some rad lines are not taken in account, but recognize it is because of dates it was run. Only question I have is why the 3/8" hose barbs on all rads, except one... Thoughts Bill?

More results for my approximator: Yay!

No PA series radiators in the test: Boo!

120 rads, 1/2" is pointless
real world eh ?

I agree with the single 120 and 3/8... but kits and such still use both... more an observation than perceived knock

Yes, I eluded to the lack of PA series... but I beleive at the time of testing... they were not yet available?!
