radiator choice

cre · 05-18-2007, 10:58 PM

I'm running a Koyo and I'm very pleased with it. The Koyo isn't a 100% direct fit, you need to shave a little rubber off the lower mounts, add a plug from a subaru to the temp sensor location (unless you're adding a temp sensor or going 1JZ) and add a small piece of metal to clamp the aux fan down at the bottom... all in all it took me about 30 minutes.

There are really only a few choices when it comes to preformance rads that are made for our car or that fit with minimal effort. Koyo, PWR and I can't recall the other I was just thinking of.

The Koyo can be had for just a little more over what a replacement stocker would run... I'm referring to replacements without plastic endtanks. Replacement rads with the plastic end tanks cost about as much as they're worth.

I have a koyo on my 1jz car and a Fluydine on my 7m. Both work great, the koyo looks a little better if that matters to you.

There is no temp sensor on a 7M radiator.

All the temp sending units are on the water outlet housing or the thermostat housing. Even the low coolant sending unit is on the coolant recovery bottle so I have no clue what you are talking about.

I was referring to HH saying he didn't know what the guy was talking about.

I thought it was funny because that exactlly what I said to myself when I finished reading it. So I'm not as big a tard as I thought I was is all.

is there any modifying to be done to put a fluidyne in? and are there any advantages to putting it in, so if i put more hp in my car will the radiator be necessary or will a stock replacement hold up?

Yup, that's why you need to plug the hole on the Koyo rad that's for the 1JZ's sensor. :P
