Has anyone had any experience with aussie desert coolers?? Are they any good compared with PWR?? Also does anyone run an electric water pump? Are they worth the money?? Im trying to be rid of the dreded GQ overheating problem before it hapens. Thanks.

I have never had any problems with my TB4.2 on full time LPG overheating so I would not worry about sorting a problem that is not there.

Compared to PWR they're crap. PWR's quality is far better than that of desert coolers radiators in aluminium radiators.
When I get custom aluminium radiator cores I either use PWR or Adrad, whichever one gives the best price on the day. I've used both cores and both are excellent quality. On intercooler cores however, Adrad ones are the best I've ever seen anywhere.

Thanks for the tips. Ludacris my engine is a td42 and when you start getting alot of horsepower out of them they start to overheat. I just want to be rid of the problem before it starts. Saves doing it all later.

I used ADC for my Pathy. Never again though. The f*cking thing leaked like a bastard (took it back twice) and I had to modify it to fit properly.

Mate put one in his Surf, and it REALLY cooled it down. Now has a 308 in the thing and runs sweeet! Cooling is fine.
He couldn't be happier with his.......

Same.
A mate has used they're products in two summernats v8 burnouts rigs. On both occasions temp stayed on 90 for the whole burnout in 30deg+ heat.
Pretty impressive. And not too $$$
Both were they're tin triple flow models - not alum.
If my Jeeps ever carks it it's the brand I will be getting.

I have been down to A.D.C and can say that I was very impressed with his setup. I don't know about aluminum but for the standard type of radiator very hard to go past.
They are able to custom make onsite radiators to any shape, size or capacity.
They custom modified a sigma radiator to suit a isuzu powered deisel zook and it looks factory.
Like I said I don't know what he is like with aluminium radiators but there is very little they can't do with the orginal type........
Very Impressed with there work and setup.....happy to say go for it you won't regret it. Top bloke
