450R PWR radiator

[chad502ex]

Hey gang,

Thought I'd start sharing all my rebuild documentation and pictures for everyone to look over and get a sense of what might work on your setup

here's a picture of the comparison of the 450R PWR radiator compared to stock. The 450R PWR radiator cools 30% more. Cooler motor no HP fade!

whats kewl about this radiator is that the stock fan bolts right up to it just like OEM would.

Looks real good. Help keep your big motor breathing! Let us know how you like it when you run it.

OK Tame- I will let you and other know. The radiator seems to be really built well. All the welded seams are really nice. It's impressive but expensive. Wasn't happy about price. Oh well, needed it.

I was looking at them the other day and you are right they are spendy, although I haven't priced a stock 450r one but I did price a stock ltz400 radiator and it was dang near the same price as the Fluidyne radiators they retail for $449.95 :ermm:

[Shuee_400]

[Silverfox@C&DRacing]

I wonder if those are seconds they are selling on ebay because that is below dealer cost:ermm:

[ckasper18]

PWR indicated they were not aware of ebay sales...

[Silverfox@C&DRacing]

I believe they are different

[chad502ex]

just wanted everyone to know that the OEM PWR radiator installed perfectly and it seems like an excellent product thus far.

my 0.02

hope this helps.

I can second that. No problems fitting mine.

I bought a stock radiator about a month ago. I paid $64.00 plus tax for it.
