I think I'm going to try the vl radiator . Seems like less cutting to fit it and won't look out of place in the car . And run the biggest fans I can . Will post photos once I start the upgrade .

Cheers

Did you run vl fans with that radiator . Flick some pictures if you can .

Thanks jb for the photos gives me a better idea of what I could do . Neat job
Cheers

I run a pair of Davies Craig fans. I chose two smaller fans, as they give me a good air flow (2 x medium flow = 1 x big fan), allow me to spread that flow over a greater surface area of the radiator (more effective than shrouding - its one reason modern cars often run twin thermos instead of one big one), and are slim enough to tuck up under the bonnet latch mechanism without too much butchery.

anyone used FENIX radiators or know of them being used for projects?

[njf690]

Tried fenix today only to find out they don't have any commodore radiators in stock and don't know when they will get any either . Also didn't have any fans or shrouds Not good

What did you end up doing?

I used a 54mm triple row, standard FC top tank custom bottom tank with the hose inlet/outlets moved to suit a V6 in my car. Fits in original position. No overheating issues yet. Also has A/C condenser in front.

i ended up going aluminium radiator from Proflow in a universal style .  bit of cutting ,making of supports and mounts . in now with Spal puller fan. had to modify the top neck of radiator to miss the drive belt and pulley . welded a 90' pipe with a neck.
