Track (No Condenser) Radiator Option

gomer_110

Other than price, why not just go with the CSF triple pass and just remove the condenser coil (it's only bolted on). At one point I believe Z1 even sold it without the condenser. I don't see that option now but I have to imagine the condenser less option is still available somewhere.

Obviously logic dictates that it makes more sense to just choose the CSF or Koyorad. What sense does it make to not only purchase a radiator that you can’t be sure would fit, but also requires cutting the shroud, and reducing the inlet sizes. Then imagine, after my great experiment won’t fit, rather than returning it, cutting the lower mounting flange on the radiator? What the hell would I have done if it still did not fit after cutting it!?

Just a little window into my strange mind…

But in my defense, there are no other double core options available (in theory it should out perform a same size single core even with triple pass. 3 pass = 5-10% increase in efficiency while 2 core = 40-50%) and the price!

But for anyone reading this. Don’t do it! Just run away!

Just to clear up any confusion. Triple pass does not add surface area or volume. It just means the radiator has internal baffles that make the coolant take a circuitous path within the radiator. The increase in efficiency is a result of the coolant spending more time in the radiator. Multiple cores actually add internal (not external) surface area by placing another internal radiator structure(core) directly behind the first. Of course each subsequent core will be less efficient than the one in front of it. But they always add volume.

In the picture below you can see the two stacks of tubes or "cores".

Of course there is also tube size and fin density but that is just getting into the weeds...

Correction. the Mishimoto 370z radiator is dual core…
