KOYO Radiator

[PapichuloMKIII]

Hi, I was looking on ebay and i came across this radiator. Not bad price for a koyo radiator. This is a 2row type radiator that provides 10% more cooling efficiency than stock?? I know there is another koyo radiator
Koyo Part # R0171, which is additional $200 but it is a 3row type. I was wondering if anyone has purchased the 2row type radiator and how has it been working for them? Is the cheaper radiator really any better than our stock radiators? Would it support highhorsepower applications such as 450+RWHP?? :1zhelp:

I don't think there is such a thing as too much cooling on a MKIII Supra. I'll be running a 3 row with my 1JZ because that's what everyone recommended.

how much were these radiators? seeing as how our stockers have plastic end tanks, and both of the koyos you mention are full alum , it would HAVE to cool more

The 2 row cost 129.99 while the 3 row is 339.99. Ahhh i see whats the price difference. The 129.99 is this-[B]Made from Copper & Brass (2 Row Type) Plastic End & Heli-arc welded, cores are NOCOLOK-brazed (no epoxy)[/B]- so its not aluminum. Well what do you guys think even if it's not aluminum that is a decent radiator?

Decent? Maybe. Koyo is a good company. So is CSF. For a stock type radiator, it'll be okay.

I would still go with the Koyo R0171, though. Because it's what most people run with good results.

for fucking TRUTH. SO many mkiii owners complain about overheating and BHG, while overlooking this key element in the cooling system.
