Cheap but good for the money. (This will help you)

thickness? Yes I assume? Cools the car, one downside is the hose outlets are too big for standard hoses. I had to stretch them to put them on. It's also printed to look better and the fan shroud mounts are a little crooked, but everything works. Not bad for $60

Pros
  • permanent test results
Cons
  • old

Well, at least it's cheap.

The packaging is not damaged but the cooler came out of the packaging clearly bent. The photo shows how much. For its intended purpose, I'll make it, there's no time to mess around with the return. but the lack of quality control is disappointing. It was not damaged in transit, it was packaged that way.

Pros
  • Excellent general characteristics
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

What a bargain!: Engine Cooling and Air Conditioning

Half the price of a standard radiator, twice the strength of a standard radiator and just as easy to fit. I actually bought a camp heater and then found this one. Returned an expensive stock and received one of these. I've had it for about 6 2 8 months now and it's doing a great job of keeping my car cooler and warmer in the winter. The only issue I had is that the inlet and outlet are slightly larger than the drain, but that's not a bad issue in my opinion.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Easily torn

Good quality for the price

Arrived well packaged (which is a good sign to begin with). I installed it on a '97 Civic, the bottom brackets, top brackets and fan shroud bolts matched perfectly. However, the entrance and exit are larger. So get big clamps and a hose that's slightly larger on one end. Or stretch the hose (not recommended). Although it is better than the factory cooler. Would have gotten 5 stars if it wasn't for the size of the inlet. All in all I would buy again.

Pros
  • Best in niche
Cons
  • Some little things

Garbage! leaks. Stay away!

Absolute rubbish. Please don't buy this and don't waste your time and money. After removing the old plastic/metal radiator in my 00 Civic, I found that this radiator was not lined up in the correct place below. Then I tried to align the top support and it didn't align either. Then, after an overnight trip to the parts store, after working on the larger hoses because the outlets on this radiator are larger than stock (LS 98 Integra hoses will fit if you're wondering), I hooked everything up and…

Pros
  • Comfortable to use
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than other picks

Not bad for the money

The packaging was adequate and although I can't comment on the fitment as I'm using it in a Lotus 7 replica that requires special brackets, the heatsink looks very well made. Good looking welds, a well made filler neck and pressure tested to 18psi showed no leaks. My main issue with this heatsink and the reason this rating is 3 stars is that the shiny aluminum has been coated with silver spray paint. I'm not sure if they all come one way or the other. After wiping all the paint off with paint…

  • New

while it works fine. suitable for engine cooling and air conditioning

Installed on a 1999 Civic EX this morning. The mounting holes for the radiator fan from below matched, but the holes on top have shifted slightly. You can screw all 4 points with some force, but I think that's at your own risk. Another difficulty was attaching the upper and lower hoses. Even with lube it was very difficult to put them on but then again they hold with some force. The hose clamps on the radiator side didn't match the hose that went over the new intakes so I had to get some…

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Disappears

Some modifications may be required.

Fits like a cheaper radiator. I had to change one of the mounting tabs on the bottom because one of the tabs on the heatsink was misaligned. Also, and this is just a very minor quirk, the radiator cap, once locked, doesn't work properly. The sides of the cover must face the left and right sides of the vehicle. It's not like this. But again, this is just a small feature that doesn't affect the cooling performance of the heatsink in any way. Otherwise it actually has the correct intake and…

Pros
  • Dope 🔥
Cons
  • Expensive

The harshest of reviews can be whitewashed

Firstly I think this product is better engineered than the OEM product. All aluminum; Painted silver as others mention (I agree with the confusion as to why) The biggest issue I had was that this heatsink was missing the bottom brackets on the OEM heatsink - for the fan. The OEM design uses retractable tabs that open the channeled receptacles on the fan shroud bracket. Since no adapter took this discrepancy into account, I had to shell out $#%/. Used a 1/4 x 20 tap and die to drill new threads…

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Available in white only
