TaBaTa is famed in Japan for producing Top Quality Radiator systems for a wide variety of street/race cars. The application of choice was a 2-Layer Aluminium variety, which actually looks pretty darn thick. Properties of Aluminium besides being very light, are that it will cool much more effectively while air is blowing at it, i.e. when car is moving. However the trade off is that it will absorb heat much more rapidly when the car is stationary. The radiator itself was a bolt on to the standard mounts and the Radiator cap is rated at 1.35. Unfortunately, the Spoon Radiator Cap previously purchased does not fit this application.

 

What's the advantage over the stock radiator? Better cooling, weight, or cooling capacity?

Well it cools much more effectively while the car is rolling. It does get warmer however when car is stationary(say in crowded traffic). It is also thicker than stock as well as lighter...

 

Is there a site or place I can go to check out more specs and prices?
