I know theres some crap coolers on e-bay with such a huge gap between the bars that you could park a bus there, and despite there size they prob dont cool well atall, but flickign through today i noticed these: -



theres a whoel range of sizes, but what got me was the design, yay or nay? theyu also appear to be very cheap.

too good to be true?

At the top of the advert it"suits power output upto 800bhp" bit further down it's 650 bhp

Doesn't look that bad - it's got some internal area at least!!!

How they can make them for the money is beyond my understanding though!

I suppose if the cast end tanks did crack, you could cut them off and have fabricated end tanks tig welded on?

You can see the 'join line' of the two halves in the above picture...

If you want to take the gamble - then do so. And report back for the rest of us!
100% positive feedback with 500-odd ratings isn't to be sniffed at tho.
