Griffin radiator are awesome.

Not this drift spec one, but it works so well.

The quality and craftsmanship of it is great.

Great deal by the way.

more info on the fan+aluminum shroud please. looks nice

MA JasonG · 04-11-2008, 03:25 PM

We offer the aluminum shroud it is additional.
The fan used in the above picture is the Spal extreme 16" sells for $296.

You can use your stock SR fan shroud which will bolt to the radiator with the clutch fan but due to the thickness of the radiator you have to trim the fan shroud.

If you would like to have the aluminum fan shroud installed on the radiator and the hole cut for the 16" fan it is an additional $175. This does not include the fan.

singlecamslam · 04-11-2008, 03:30 PM

can you use the stock clutch fan on these? Looks like theres enough room if you redo the shroud.

ALEXTHESUS*PECT · 04-11-2008, 03:30 PM

450+296+175=920 shipped?

that would be for everything seen correct?

We can do that. remember you dont have to run the aluminum shroud and fan. You can run the stock setup or something else. We just found that the single 16" fan actually helps with cooling a lot better.

GSXRJJordan · 04-11-2008, 10:47 PM

I use a single 15" fan and an aluminum shroud I made out of .020" aluminum flashing. It was a bitch to cut/size, and is just tack welded on to the rad and zip tied to the fan, but cools soooo much better than the fan with no shroud.

TravisSW · 04-12-2008, 07:30 AM

I totally recommend these radiator guys and gals.

When my stockie literally pissed itself and died, I got one of these. Seems like the price went up a little, but I wouldn't recommend these over Koyo ANY day.

Theyr'e big and beefy and cool a hell of a lot. Temp stays nice and cool and doesn't pass 1/2 way. (while driving). Gotta love night times where it's like 1/4 inch above C lol (s14 / while driving and hard too)

Since it is a big beefy radiator. I had to barely dremel a part of the fan shroud down. Only took a minute or two. I'm still use the stock clutch fan since nothing beats the cooling of that either. :P
+rep (i'll try to post up pics)

drift freaq · 04-13-2008, 05:03 PM

I ran a Griffin in my RB car and I have one chilling waiting for my VQ swap. Dope ass radiators. Can't go wrong.

MA JasonG · 04-14-2008, 09:44 AM

Travis please do post pics up of your Radiator. I would appreciate it.
Thanks.

TravisSW · 04-14-2008, 11:08 AM

Pixtars!

***S14DB*** · 04-14-2008, 11:32 AM

Why is the 240sx application so expensive? The SRT-4 one my friend just got was $250.

TravisSW · 04-14-2008, 11:40 AM

I'm wondering the same, mine was 330 when I got mine 6+ months ago.

Then when I think about it, my shop did order it so they could of gotten it for cheaper, who knows.

Either way, pwnage radiator regardless of the price.

Brian W. · 04-14-2008, 01:58 PM

ok guys. the picture posted above by Travis is not of the same radiator we are selling here.

what you guys are purchasing are "off the shelf" sized replacement radiators.

what we are selling here is TWICE as thick as the ones you have while still fitting in the stock location.

now it being twice as thick and it not being produced as much as the "off the shelf" units it is going to cost more.

the head · 04-15-2008, 08:47 AM

Griffin FTW I run a Chevy Circle track 4 row in my 240 great radiators buy this shit people!

Brian W. · 04-15-2008, 10:16 PM

yes these are awesome, i run one in my new competition car with the Spal 16" extreme fan and the setup works very well.

FOR THE RECORD WE WILL BEAT ANY PRICE ON GRIFFIN PRODUCTS!!!

Brian W. · 04-21-2008, 03:40 PM

Here she is installed.....

mbvigil · 05-21-2008, 08:52 PM
