L16 engine with s13 ca18 radiator

Don't think that combination is suppose to overheat. Did you cut the old radiator support panels to give more airflow. I think you must get the radiator cleaned.

Cut some out need to cut more- I think ut is air flow related- needs more air flow when stationary- fine when moving

Well got 2 quotes fir rodding rad, $120 and 175, cause plastic tanks, usually have to replace tanks at same time as they crack due to age- crap!!!!! Looks like better to find another rad then

If you are near Tommo73 .... come and see mine installed and have a chat - maybe you can also solve my electrical gremlins

Na unfam lives near city he won't socialize with us folk! :) if u come down this way can u grab your stuff!
Which alloy radiator u using dEmaCoz??

alloy + cheap = more problems

my rad guy mentioned the cracking of tanks, wasnt a problem with mine hence 88

i would still get yours done... you have all the mounts and hoses and things done, 130 for essentially a brand new rad and no overheating is a good price!

I suppose I can't yet vouch for the alloy on reliability since the ute is not on the road yet .... not even taken up to temp as I don't have any fans either. - but at $260 it was a lot cheaper than getting the EXA one re-cored and modded (over $400)

Nick.... the RAD is a FENIX one ... see my build thread

I never had problems with my ca alloy radiator only started to heat up in traffic if I didn't have the fan on, it never got hot!! And that was in when I was sticking 17psi through my poor little a12 and then 10psi a14 and my mild a14 and a few stock a12's never noticed anything apart from it being too tall
