Just was wondering if there's a performance radiator for SVT and is there a difference between SVT and SE radiator. Thanks.

No difference, but I can't say I've heard of any performance ones out there...maybe a Focus one...

Actually the SVT does have a bigger radiator then the SE. As far as aftermarker goes though, I have no clue.

I do believe there is a diference in the SVT/SE radiator as stated above. The question is why do you want a different radiator in an SVT? The one it has works just fine

well it does work fine ,but when your on like a road couse or just driving long distances like in the middle of the summer in the midwest US..having the enhine run cooler is just a benificial thing.. it'll keep things cooler and prolongue the life of hte engine

i remember when i was talking with terry haines about a year and half ago about a 3.0L turbo setup he said he could get a mondeo radiator. Its obviously an upgrade from the standard non svt radiator, but not sure if its the same as the SVT.

My temp sat at just above stat-opening (prolly 190 or so) last summer on a 600 mile drive in 95 - 100 degree heat. The SVT Radiator is probably plenty for anyone not running the 12 Hours of Sebring.

The SVT radiator has a 14mm wider core and more fins per inch. It is an upgraded unit pulled from the top of the Mondeo line.
It is considerably better then stock. Definitely a great upgrade!

It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.
