crossflow vs. downflow radiator.
i've been doing some research online about the difference between the crossflow radiators compare to our stock down flow radiators.
the reason is because the way i have my turbo set up it doesnt give me enough clearence to fit a stock radiador so what i did is made my own custom radiator. my concern is that people r telling me that the radiador wont flow right if i do the crossflow radiator, is it true r will i be alright with the crossflow radiator?

I think you will be just fine with it. You will have to try it and see, but honestly I think you will do just fine.

cross flow rads are much more efficent. there is no disadvantage to switching.

cross flow rad have longer tubes longer is better.
the slower flow and the longer tubes increase thermal transfer

i kepted the car on for 10min r so and the temps stay cool with the crossflow radiator i have at the moment.
im planning on taking my car over the weeken to element so i can get it tune by cortney when ever he has any time available.
