For $900 Ian's radiators are a steal. Much less the one he's designing with an integrated oil cooler.

I have one on my time attack/track only S2000 and love it. If you've ever had to source out your own oil cooler, you'll appreciate how easy the JR unit is, with everything already perfectly measured out and fitted. It's also really efficient- I have a stock AP2 motor right now and I actually need to warm the car up before going on track now. I'm planning a crazy motor setup for it in the near future, so this is really helpful for me.

I didn't see a warranty mentioned.

Or do we get the usual, "race car part, no warranty"?

Weld broke and mixed coolant and oil?

Picture of it on my car. I'm pretty excited about the Jackson Racing printing on it haha.

Just removed my AC condenser finally to clean up the look, maximize efficiency, and shed some weight. I also added some aluminum tape to seal off the small gap between my homemade air guides and the radiator.

Might be something worth asking them. Whenever I buy parts for my race cars, that's not even something that crosses my mind haha.

It looks good with your install. But for that price and me being turbo'd I would get Ian's setup. Or the Mr Sidewayz setup.

A clean installation.

At times I wonder if keeping the AC and running it during the race may be the 'hot', or rather 'not hot' setup. A lot of complicated effort goes into cooling the driver on hot days: powered, cooled air to the helmet and cool suits, running water through ice buckets. I used to consume over a gallon of Gatorade and often swapped the hood and top of the fireproof underwear between every session.

If the AC could drop interior temps in the car, especially on red flags and yellow flag laps (oval racing has lots of these), when air isn't circulating in the cockpit. In return, the A/C uses about 5hp (TTBOMK). Unless in very tight competitive racing, most people wouldn't notice 5hp at the flywheel.

This looks way cool. Couple hundred I guess less expensive than a new radiator of and decent oil cooler kit. But it's just so clean....

I raced against Oscar Jr. in SCCA STU racing and their Scion FRS using the same basic concept has been very reliable (not a single breakdown this season).

If I hadn't wrecked my racecar I would already have one of these.
