I bet my first wank came quicker than your first mini turbo


These new modern turbos with their quick spool up time, would make the competition harder.

Well yes but most people won't be looking at my engine and if they do I don't expect they'll be specifically checking out the welds on my rad.

Australia oi oi oi!

So Radtec Or Minispares 2 core

there are also 2 types of radtecs.

i do believe you get what you pay for.

i have had ok results with the alloy one
but as i said i fitted a fresh cleaned 3 core & it worked so much better.

Well, a good looking product is normally a quality product. With something like this at least.

Given how relatively close nit the mini community is with the various forums.
A crap product will get to be known very quickly.

As a result of this, i doubt anyone would be daft enough to spend all that effort welding up a few batches of these radiators to look nice if they are just going to sell a few and be slated on the various forums.

I have a Radtec in my Sprint (with all the welds filed/sanded flush and sprayed black) but I would go for a Minispares 2 core in future after having tried both

You who have bought and tested the chinese radiators, were those with 40 or 50mm core? I'm particulary interested in that 50mm version and would like to know how it really performs.

Don't forget, not every mini owner uses forums. That's often why stuff fetches more on ebay than a for sale section on a forum.

I use both a cheap chinese intercooler and cheap civic alloy radiator in my mini, both are very good at cooling, but dont expect them to stay shiney! gone very dull already, and expecting them to start rusting soon LOL!
