Base radiator vs PP radiator (ecoboost)

[FreePenguin]

I am doing a full tear down of car for suspension etc upgrades next week, I have ford performance tune and I am installing CPE FMIC intercooler, charge pipes etc. I was just thinking of maybe tossing in a upgraded radiator- is there any benefit in doing so for the tune? or exact same.

Its only 278 w free shipping on Levittown, I'm fair with that. but if its like a 3% increases in size/cooling. than its not worth it. I don't want to buy a Mishimoto. CSF looks ok but its 500 and I don't really want to spend that, so if the PP radiator is a nice upgrade from base, I'd drop 278 bucks.

comparisons. - doesn't really show any specs on cores etc so I am hoping someone here has handled both to give their opinion

My take on this, is if I’m chasing power and a radiator upgrade is in the recipe it is not going to have plastic side tanks, period.

You told me a PP radiator won't fit in an Ecoboost. Glad to see you finally figured out you were wrong. Still have my brand new PP radiator for sale. Lowered it to $250 if picked up.

this isn’t the same PP radiator you’re selling. Yours is for a gt. The eco ones have 6 inches shorter to accommodate a intercooler.

yours is a giant square with no space under it and brackets.

this is what I’ve figured out researching anyway.

If I’m wrong I’d like to know. I looked up yours and it says gt etc fitment, and nothing about ecoboost.

the gt radiators are taller and don’t have the brackets like pictured.

i gusss there’s a base gt and pp gt radiator

just like a ecoboost base and ecoboost pp variant
