We have IN STOCK our all aluminum radiators which fits all 928s price is $895 and of course the end tank replacements for Behr radiators for $95 each with seal. It is not too early to be getting ready for summer !

It is a very nice custom piece and we are very proud of it ! It is the two cooler variant which replaces all of the Behr units and is designed with internal heat exchangers with proper capacity and flow. We could have had it made cheaper but I do not think we could have it made any better ! The additional heat transfer capability and benefits of all alloy construction as well as lower price compared to the factory Behr all seem like good things to me.

It's nice that this radiator is better than the OEM. Wasn't the original radiator's capacity already over designed for the 928 or am I wrong?
Any plans to manufacture rads withouht the auto trans cooler? This could make it less expensive and more attractive for the 5-speed owners.

Actually the stock radiator was designed for 4.5L and 200hp. It was never increased at all, even with 345hp. Thast what Jim always says, even before he sold Custom rads.

Certainly a new radiator of any kind probably has better cooling capacity than a 10-15 year old radiator with an unknown degree of clogging blockage. Porsche tested the 928 in the Sahara Desert in the summer time ! So the Behr is a good radiator. If there is sufficient interest in a engine oil cooler only radiator that is a possibility it just makes minimum order quantities more difficult to fill and adds to inventory costs as well. PCNA many years ago went to a one size fits all supersession to the two cooler radiators for those same reasons I believe. EDIT .... since there have been a number of requests (as noted below) Mark is having some no cooler radiators made as well for the racer guys/ late GTand GTS 5 speed cars.

I think what you're buying with this radiator is 928 International's ***spotless*** reputation for doing right by their customer. I had a Behr once, brand new from the dealer. Spendy. Mixed oil and coolant exactly one year after installation. Out of warranty, sorry.

Good one Mark like we could get everyone to agree on one design ! I think not ! maybe best to concentrate on the 17,000 or so normally aspirated cars still registered in the US.
