Message do shit. I tried running my car with just the HOWE and I didn't get any improvements with it and as soon as I put the very expensive Nismo thermostat my car was running an average of 12-22degrees colder. All the testing was done with the techtom


: WHY pay that much money for a HOWe?

: Griffin radiators offers an all aluminum radiator at 22"X19"X3" for $209, and some members have been able to find them for less than that! So I ask, WHY are people buying HOWe radiators for $400 when you can get a Griffin of the same dimensions and construction for half that? :-)

: Just my observation but since going to 14psi with my mods, the engine definately generates a lot more heat. A larger radiator to keep things cool will definately lengthen the life of your engine, especially those last two cylinders (#5 & #6) that generally tend to run hotter and wear out before the other cylinders do. $209 is cheaper than you'll get a new stok unit for too, perhaps your plastic endtank pipes are deteriorating? This would make for a great replacement.

: *this is a semi-repost from last night, just trying to catch you AM guys up on this. :) *
