Have you heard about this radiator?
I'm thinking of buying one of this kind. But it's a little expensive. I know it's of good quality though.
So, any more feedback about the product?

feedback? this is the best radiator in my case. why? i have a rav4 with the original denso (it was aluminum/plastic) changed to evercool full copper top to bottom. temps are much lower.sulit na sulit.
Search mo, dami nang post about evercool radiators.
That said, its a good brand. Put one in our old Kia Ceres delivery truck. 3 or 4 years na no problems. Our drivers just use tap water. Tigas ng ulo kasi, kahit bilin use distilled water and coolant, tap water pa rin ang ginagamit.
Thank you so much for the feedback! I appreciate it. Really, I got to decide now and it's all because of your help. I'm buying Evercool Radiator for my ride!
Oh by the way, I'd like to share some reference where you could easily reach Evercool: Roberts Automotive and Industrial Parts Manufacturing Corporation
I hear it's really a good company, so yeah. I hope we all got to help each other and I want to thank you all who shared information here. It really helped me to decide and I ended up choosing the best! Thank you so much. :D
yeah mine's Evercool.. the best! 3 years ko na gamit..still doin great!
Why do I get this feeling that this thread is being managed by an SEO outfit?
hahah.. i would agree with you sir.. 2 of our nissan urvans had radiator problems, the original radiators broke its plastic tanks.. so we replaced the radiators with evercool i think 3 rows pa nga radiator.. to make the story short.. nag overheat parin.. we ended up doin a top overhaul.. that fixed the overheating problem..
so para sa akin its not the radiator.. pag mai tama na ang makina. it will eventually overheat no matter what kind of radiator you have..
Here's the problem with said brand from a technical standpoint.
First the tubes are 13 x 2 mm x 0.11 mm lockseam tubes. Meaning these are practically thin strips of brass rolled just folded together and then filled with solder in between. This makes the tubes prone to cavities that can lead to leaks. Not to mention its a fairly thin gauge that is not as resistant to impact from debris.
Second, the fin geometries used are increasingly optimized for cost. This results in a weak core matrix causing bulging and imminent core collapse.
Third, it uses lead solder. Lead is cheap but toxic -period.
Those joints you mentioned, should have been brazed and not just soldered.
A 3 row radiator isn't necessarily better than a two or single row unit. There are 1-row designs that will handily beat a 3 row conventional radiator. A properly configured radiator will work. Kung tsambahan lang eh ma-papaoverhaul ka nga.
Interesting... can we have this in regular english (with pic comparisons preferably) for the benefit of all?![]()
I agree on the last item as this will pertain more to overall cooling system design efficiency as against "size is might" of the radiator alone. A lot of modern vehicles today use smaller and lighter radiators if my observations are correct, and yet cooling efficiency (and optimal engine operating temp attainment) now are much much better compared to vehicles from a decade or two ago.
Engines now are more thermally efficient. Meaning they convert more chemical energy from the fuel to mechanical energy and emit less heat.
The recent designs seen of local mass market radiators have been focused on cost cutting. When your radiator would need at least 18 fins per inch fin pitch we're seeing them in 12-14FPI. Which will work fine under most conditions but lowers the high performance headroom when you need it.
