    No knowledge of that, but I will tell you that I've been told that the brass radiators dissipate heat faster and that the 3vze radiator is a three core. So if you are worried about heat with a 22re, you should be able to swap to the V6 rad. It should bolt right up (if I'm remembering correctly.)

    I just bought one on sale from the same seller on ebay for 170 shipped to my door. I think the only reason its so cheap is because the welds are a bit on the ugly side, but considering LC engineering sells a similar radiator for $400 I think its well worth the price. I think im going to powercoat it though.

    Probably not a good idea- the powder coating, that is. I believe that it would have a tendency to trap heat.
    On a moderately stock 22re this might not be too big a problem though because they don't tend to overheat easily. Just be careful.

    I just put it in tonight, fits like a glove and my flex a lite black magic fan bolted right up. I opted to smooth the welds with a scotchbrite disk and paint the top and sides of the radiator, looks bad ass and slightly better temps... not like I really needed it.

    ill try to get off my lazy butt and post a pic in the next few days here

    I think its time I invest in a billet overflow and maybe even the windshield washer thing too.

    does anyone have a pic of the ugly welds? if i got one i could always grind off the ugly welds and run full tig welds. I'm assuming that they mig weld them and thats the reason why they look nasty.
