Is it safe to buy a ebay radiator, if so which one should i purchase ? Does anybody have any experience with ebay radiators?

 

Why are you looking at purchasing a new one?
Did something happen to your original radiator?

 

I want to max my cooling efficiency.

 

Do the Ralliart 170*F. thermostat and also the coolant line bypass mod to the throttle body. I like the PWR aluminum radiator. Is your car already equipped with a coolant temperature gauge. If not, get the 42 Draft Designs thermostat housing with coolant temp sensor fitting.

 

I was told that the ralliart T-stat is a waste of money and it will make your car run like sh*t because it make your car's ECU think that the car is not warmed up because it opens up 10 degrees colder than the stock T-stat.

 

Can anyone confirm this??

 

A radiator is too important to be bought from eBay. An o2 housing or exhaust is one thing, but a radiator??? No thanks.

Id' look at Koyo or PWR, but there are plenty of other things you can do before you need to go there. I have a Ralliart T-Stat, but I am on an AEM EMS, so I have no idea how the stock ECU would respond.
