i was actually looking at buying one of these radiators. IIRC they are basically a PWR or Koyo radiator just not as pretty. So they should bolt right up.

pwr ftw this radiator is a monster, just put mine in two days ago, it's almost twice as thick as the factory radiator with no fitment issues and supports the stock shroud and fan, where i heard the fluidyne is barely thicker than stock and the koyo requires some fabrication and a special radiator cap to make it work in our cars. do a search for a radiator thread started be me about two weeks ago it has some good info in it about all 4 the csf, pwr fluidyne and koyo

later

I have the CSF Race radiator. It's huge, the electric AC fans barely fit on it. However with alot of patience everything will bolt up no problem. It's good quality and cools very well. The PWR and Fluidyne really aren't worth the extra money unless you just want a prettier finish IMO.

Here's a pic of my CSF installed:

I have the CSF...it's a thick Mofo...more capacity than the Fluidyne or PWR. A true dual core radiator at a much cheaper price. It's just not a "pretty" as the Fluidyne or PWR...I'll take performance over "pretty" any day!

The CSF is 52mm and the PWR is 57mm so how does the CSF have more capacity?

I saw one on another guys car...he told me it was a PWR. I don't remember the exact thickness, but my CSF was about 3/16" thicker. I donno...maybe he was BS'ing me it was a PWR...I didn't look at the front.
