The "dual cooler" radiators that Roger and Mark have been selling work really good, for this application.

A couple of us fitted the radiator with the engine cooler (actually both coolers but the right is not used on the 5 speed) and Greg's smart three way hose setup.
The addition of the radiator oil cooler in line with the under rad oil cooler has increased my oil pressure from 4.5 to 5.0 bar on the top end when at full chat in high ambient temps. More importantly I gained about 0.5 bar at the lower end when in TX 110F in stop go traffic.
Awesome mod for the GTS.

Awesome mod for (90+) GT's also, with the same cooler-under-radiator setup.
We added the left-side cooler and fitted Greg's hose kit before heading to SITM, and it worked great! The thunderstorms all missed us, car ran great, no tickets (in spite of Sue's best efforts...) and we no longer worried about pulling off the highway in blisteringly hot temperatures and getting stuck in traffic.

MJ,
You already have the oil cooler in the left side of the radiator. Not an issues with your car.
Became an issue when they removed the rad oil cooler and mounted the oil cooler under the radiator 90+ cars.

So, who's build is this? I gave my Devek away so I don't have one to compare it to.
Why does it take 3 or 4 copper sealing rings on each cooler attachment? Wonder why lose were leaking
Took me over an hour to get this POS out of the car as it is too wide, bad fitment etc. I sure hope it is no longer being produced.

Sean - Looks like DEVEK (Ron Davis) radiator--same tabs, collars and had a stack of copper washers on the connectors. I think the washers were to extend the connection (IIRC.) It was a little short and couldn't snug the transmission cooler lines without them. Bought mine in 2001 and was still going strong when I sold the car a couple years ago. Lucky I guess... I don't recall any fit problems though other than the bottom fan shroud.

(Knock on wood) My radiator isn't leaking but its 27 years old with most of its life in West Coast desert heat and sand exposure.
How much longer do you think I can get out of it?
