There is absolutely no shame in saying its based on, or is, an imported PWR radiator /core made by PWR, at PWR.

Part of the pleasure in something like a PWR product is that it is actually truly made in the same factory as an F1 radiator.

PWR still says it makes all its radiators/cores, including the F1, WRC, Indy etc etc stuff, at its HQ.

I've been with Kees Weel a few times in his HQ, even been allowed to handle 2 or 3 of the F1 teams different radiators .... and some of the even more amazing/hard to even fathom military cooling modules.

Hearing him explain a couple of years ago how (at the time) F1 teams wanted to achieve an additional weight saving of less than 100grams per radiator, and in doing so were willing to go from using 2 x $80000 radiators per car over two race weekends (then shipped back to be fully rebuilt) to 2 x $120000 radiators per car per single race weekend...was a sobering lesson in engineering extremes.
I'm proud to have worked there earlier in my engineering career (directly out of college for 6 years) and continue to work with them in a capacity. My apologies for the overreach.

A genuinely classy response.
Very easy to see why your company is so highly respected.

Well, I didn't know who PWR was until it was mentioned here. Neat stuff!

Keep up the good work.

It's easy when it's the truth. I'm still humbled (maybe not at the time, but looking back) to have worked there and learned A LOT of stuff under the engineering wings there. A lot of good times and a lot of really neat projects. And genuinely, I feel they offer *the best* cores of the aftermarket, but I could be biased.

They make a lot of very high-end motorsports units, head office is in Australia, but they have a sister company in Indianapolis that we are local to.

I race in GridLife Touring Cup in a LS2 swapped FRS. I've been using Koyo Rad since day 1 but considered getting the Verus designed rad. Last weekend's racing settled it for me, time to upgrade. Lots of nose to tail racing got water and oil temps above 230. I'll also be adding a 2nd oil cooler.

We will be running a group buy on the radiators if anyone is interested in getting in on a discount for a solid radiator made in Indianapolis! Send an email to sales@verus-engineering.com.
