CBRD probably makes some of the best radiators on the market. You can't go wrong with them.

I was thinking about doing this to my setup, not using a fan altogether and just using the rad. The rad is very efficient but it's not going to hold up in the summertime without a fan. I spoke with Chad about not using a fan and he said it wasn't a good idea. In the winter, my fan has yet to come on, but the temps have gotten up there with some spirited driving. I would not risk it myself. Is there a particular reason why you are not choosing a fan? The fan itself weighs very little. The stock fan is heavy because it has that metal enclosure. The CBRD fans have a plastic enclosure so it's light weight.

ahahahah, that made me laugh!

Im happy to see not everyone has heard of us, it means we have more work to do

if you need any specific information... we aren't just a "single solution" provider for evo cooling...

we have the following:

oem like fitment with straight upper hose in 3 different combinations (depending on your needs and turbo application)

drop in double pass road racing radiators (very expensive and not recommended for street use)

half width radiators for forward facing kits

half width radiators for ultra lightweight autox use

and some other bits

cheers
