« on: February 12, 2009, 02:44:42 PM »
Ok, odypilots and myslef are looking for aluminum rads, what i have found was a 3 core civic radiator, but it is bar and plate design, Or the option is a 2 core tube and fin design, which is better In your opinon, pros and cons to both, i have read pros and cons, but only for intercoolers, Not for rads...

Radiators are tube and fin due to the need for pretty much unrestricted water flow in the radiator. A bar and plate is for air only .Too many fingers in the water of a bar and plate would be nearly a total flow blockage at the low head capacity of the pump.You do know what head is in regard to pumping don't you?

no,total restrictions including lift but also any other restrictions such as elbows, reduction in size,change of shope,and yes a zillion little fingers in the water flow in a bar/plate INTERCOOLER if used as a rad..

You only got part of it right.The restrictions add up VERY fast and along with tlift are expressed as head.. A 90 is much worse than a 45 for example.

well right now i have a single 1" core plastic tank rad, I have to imagine the 2 core alum one i posted above we be plenty sufficient, and cool a lot better than what i got, at 75.00 bux delivered, with some little extra mods when i get it, I am thinking with the radiator some 18" above the water pump, That I am going to pass on the bar and plate 3 core....

good thinking. 8) Honestly I can't imagine any time a bar and plate would be desirable.
