C&R Radiator Installed

[BlinkerBeat]

Here are a few photos of the C&R (PWR) street radiator. The core measured at 44.4mm. The street and track versions are the same thickness with the difference being fin height. The fin height on the street version is 8.1 mm resulting in 71 total water tubes. Fin height on the track version is 4.85 mm resulting in 105 tubes.

Install was straight forward. The biggest hassle was removing the front bumper and under tray. While I was in there I added the Acuity reverse flow hoses. The radiator also cleared the PRL intercooler pipes.

Very nice. Next track day?

Hopefully August 3rd. I wish I had some baseline data with the R but I've only been to this track with my Evo X and Focus ST.

Curious to see your results. I am avoiding driving the CTR at the track due to overheating. Even at stock I don't feel comfortable with it as I do with the S2000. The S was doing laps at Buttonwillow in 115 degree weather mid July with the temp going up one click.

I doubt just the radiator will keep it from overheating. I ran my Evo X (big tutbo, full suspension) in 95* heat and it didn't over heat but it had a a factory oil cooler and the exhaust manifold, turbine housing and DP were all Swaitech ceramic coated

Nice! I am going to be anxiously waiting for results.

Did you buy direct from C&R?

Just curious as to where you ordered the radiator from? It looks nice and promising!

Did you buy direct from C&R?

Yep. I ordered from Cory at C&R. PM me if you need his contact info. MSRP is $739 + shipping.

Am I missing the option to select street or track version on their site? Thanks for confirming it clears the PRL charge pipes, this has been my biggest concern when looking for an aftermarket radiator.

I am guessing that you have to email in, that’s what I guessed by looking on their website myself.

 

[BlinkerBeat]

Yep, I would email them and talk with a rep

 

[the8rotor]

Did they tell you the track version would work with ac?

 

[BlinkerBeat]

Yep, it does. The only difference is more tubes. They do not really recommend it for street driving. If you live in a warmer area and don't have traffic you could probably use it on the street

Ordered the same set up but am waiting to see if my car will be able to run on 7/25. THank you OP the measurements!
