Review & Pics: Black Halo Racing Radiator :)
 

Received today (1/28/08).

After getting it out of the box the first thing that came to mind was: perfection.

All the welds look amazing, there is not one flaw in the craftsmanship of this item.

Overall it weighs about 7 lbs by my guess.

Here are a few pics to tantalize. I will install this when the weather gets better here. Granted the real test won't be till I get a 95+ degree track day in as of right now I would feel comfortable paying much more than this radiator sells for. Truly is a work of art, from the welds, to the material, to the size and build.

Just sitting there it screams performance!

after seeing these pics, my pants are all wet :)

Great work CRH !

Yum ..... now I want to get this bad ass ! maybe till weather gets warmer.

looks really good. this is on my wish list, too. were you logging your coolant temps before? just curious to see if you're going to be posting numerical data when you start using it - a spot of curiosity on my part.

Nice pics.. Those welds look sexy... I say man up and do the install, screw the weather ;)

I would've got it if my budget werent so tight right now ... plus the man killing 20-30 degrees weather ....

Dan, It is one Sexy radiator and Cools quite well. I have a side-by-side that shows how restrictive air flow wise the OEM radiator is. I'll post it later..

Ray, This one looks like the fitment fixes have been applied to it. Would you confirm?

Just to add to it I thought I would show some of my pictures.

Haha, yeah we relaxed on the couch together watching Sportscenter, I had a Coors Light and the radiator had some Redline water wetter!

now that's a great bonding experience right there... :beer:

Yes, Jorge, I was assured many cool running days in my future

You guys are gay. Stop posting pics ! Im over Budget !!!! Argh !

Nice work.

That was such a great movie.. Ahhh.. Cool Runnings! :lol:

I didn't know BHR made bobsleighs...

rad looks too good to install - just frame it and put it on the wall :)

Definitely log some temperature with the oem and the new one. With out comparison tests it is just a shiny well made hunk of metal. Show us what it can do.

You know you want it, just buy it already!

Black Halo FTW

Here is a side by side comparison of the BHR compared to the OEM.

Will the Racing Beat custom protection screen fit this also? I'd hate to damage that piece of art. Wait, that fits the condenser - never mind...

that looks like the one on the right has more cores for the water to run through while the one on the left has more space for air flow.

Water cooling vs air cooling.

I'm glad you clarified this as someone might have seen what I mentioned and then wouldn't understand the signifigance of such a fine product and how it enhances the life of your engine, especially those in AZ, and TX

That picture says alot more than words.

how come you cant see through the factory rad?
