radiator question

[ross1]

do any of the aftermarket radiators (fluidyne, PWR, Koyo) support the use of the stock fan and shroud? i tried searching but all it came up with is a thread about possibly duane making a cf fan shroud...

thanx,
ross

PWR uses all the stock parts.

so does fluidyne and koyo....

 

[ross1]

so they all will work, is there any reason b/n the three of those that should prevent me from just ordering the cheapest of the three then?

 

[IJ.]

PWR is the biggest and most expensive of the 3 and the only one I own so I can't comment on the other 2.

But mines been perfect right through a hot summer here.

IJ i figured you may be somewhat partial to them, i was going through your build-up and saw all pwr for cooling, is it easy to set up an air to water i/c like your set-up?

i'm gonna be calling around and looking for the best deal on my "parts for this couple of months" getting RS R exhaust and radiator is still up in the air

thanx

The Koyo is/was a jz rad (never seen an MA one anyhow), and requires some modification to fit. You need to make lower brackets for it, and plug a sensor port, but it's pretty simple.

i thought i remembered something like that but i couldnt remember which one it was for... it needed a different radiator cap also right? anyway i may also look into the csf 2 row alum. radiator also, if its nice it's only 299 instead of close to 500...

thanx again

if your going for big horsepower than i would invest on the PWR and fluidine........but if not and are looking for 300 horse or so id go with csf radiator......
good luck

Ross: When I first got my PWR it wasn't quite right and the guys there were happy to work with me to make it a perfect fit for our cars!

The Water to Air is a little complex with the maain issue being mounting space.
