Radiator oem or upgrade on racecar?
I have allways thought a upgrade alloy radiator are the best out there. But my friend just showed the opposite. He have a drag Starlet, fitted with a 600hp 4A-GTE and a Civic radiator. First a china made thick and heavy radiator, it ran too hot. Then he bought a Mishimoto Civic radiator with no difference at all, still too hot. Now he fitted a unoriginal OEM radiator to a fraction of price and problem solved Hurray!

I'm building my race/rallycar, and wondering if you guys had any similar problems with upgrade radiators? I'm very confused what I should buy?

Project AE86 now begun.

Cars I have owned:
Toyota Starlet EP91 1,3 16v Turbo, 200hp
Toyota Starlet EP71 1,3 12v Sport
Mercedes 207D camper, 1977.
Toyota Starlet EP70 with a 174hp Silvertop 20v See video here:

Toyota Corolla AE101 with a 164hp Silvertop 20v. (Evolution bodykit and candycolor paint).
Volvo 240 2,1 (The only car I have maked money on).
Toyota Corolla EE90 (my first car)
