[X]

like the thread states...

looking at Danger Den and Leufkin currently - though Leufkin hardware looks flimsy.

i want a complete kit as possible for $140.

Consider BECooling as well

I got the pump and radiator from Be Cooling and the water block from Danger Den. They are both great.

[GuyBFF]

Pump: Danner Mag Drive (as good as Eheim once sealed) #2 - 250gph $35 or #3 - 350gph $45 w/Danger Den Cube Block (DD Cube Terrible flow compared to others, cools well).

Rad: BE Aquacoil $55, Danger Den Cube (fits small holes) $55, or BE 12x5 or 6x5 4-pass $30. Try to stay all Copper, no battery affect.

Waterblock: Danger Den Maze 2 (Love the hold-down, die cooling) $42 w/hold-down or BE Jagged Edge $30 + $10 Holddown

Prices Approx.

how can the DD CUBE well when it has terrible flow.? someone explain to me that.

also - could i just go buy a RIO180 pump instead of a Eheim 250gph pump.? what's having a lot of flow have to do with better cooling.? please explain.

It's the way they made the DD Cube, not necessarily bad.
BE modified theres so the flow splits threw 4 - 5 pass rads (which makes constriction less, flow slower threw rad, yet shorter time to cool).
It just takes a little bigger pump to make the Danger Den work as it stays one tube all the way threw 15 passes. May work better as water has had 15 fast moving passes to cool, or maybe BE better as water has 4x5 slow moving passes. I haven't tried both.
I use a DD Cube as it's smaller and fits (and I use the bigger pump to get flow speed back up to good speed). Remember, all these pumps rated at 1', there usually less than one quarter there rated speed once in a system.
Overall Rad by Rad BE Aquacoil size makes it 1 C cooler, and those heater core types 1 C more (unless peltier, a little better)
