Ouch! About the same price and no mention of thermostatic control.
My personal take is that with the JR Radiator, you have faster warmup of oil and more stability of both oil and coolant temperatures. It's at 1.4 bar pressure and larger volume capacity over stock, but doesn't require any modifications or aftermarket fans as it does not intrude into the engine bay. |
I'm running the JR Radiator with the Harrop. Both coolant and oil run a little over 190F most of the time. This is notably lower than stock readings. The only time I have seen these values creep up higher is during really hot days, going up steep hills (11% grade) and stuck behind someone going slow, so higher revs and not much forward movement.
