Custom motorcycle radiators are ver similar in size to the heater core inside a car. And the cost of even the Mose expensive Hester core is around 100 dollars. Having a custom made radiator could be five hundred dollars or more.
I am new to engine modification, but I'm loving this thread. Did a quick search to learn more about Heater Cores and this seems like an awesome idea. Turns out they're used in liquid cooling for PC builds as well, and can even help a struggling radiator by venting heat via A/C in a pinch. So the function is there. I guess now it's a matter of testing the core's efficacy on a Ninja?
