Front Mount or Water to Air
Front Mount or Water to Air

so anyone ???
Re: Front Mount or Water to Air
Regardless of whether you use air to air or water to air you are going to have an additional heat exchange unit in front of your radiator( unless building a comp truck). They can both be made to work very well and both have + and -. In the end it really depends on your budget.

I had a safari front mount unit on my old gu ute, no cooling issues, towed big loads on hot days consistantly with no cooling issues
If the above post did not offend you in any way please PM me so I can try harder!!
Re: Front Mount or Water to Air
I had a full radiator size front mount on my TB42 turbo and it never overheated, just used the standard viscous hub fan. soooooo much simpler and cheaper than water to air.
If you have to have aircon then the water to air will fit easier.

Re: Front Mount or Water to Air
yeah budget is sought of what ever i decide but dont think it will be as much as the denco water to air
Re: Front Mount or Water to Air
Beware many of the water to air coolers aren't worth a pich of salt. You need one important thing for an intercooler to work, surface area. Large surface area mean low air speed and more time for the heat to transfere. Small cylinder water to air coolers are poor performers.
