Does anyone have any clue where I can get one of these?

if i can find one for a good price i'll jump on it. :)

otherwise i'll bite the bullet and buy a Koyo and modify the bottom. (for my fan shroud).

Summeet, we carry CSF, infact thats what I use everyday for OEM replacements in customer vehicles. Its not much of an upgrade though, its only 52mms, which is like 2", the stock rad is like a 1.5 or 1.75core. If you want I can actually BRING YOU a JVTR rad which fits better than that Mishi rad and we can trade them. You can use the OEM fan shroud w/ the JVTR and those top mounts I made you

^Hey Ace.

I'd love to do it. But i sold the Rad to Cousin for his supra, and he's loving it.

Thanks :)

I'm leaning towards a Koyo Now.

Edit: Name Your Price Because I'm 110% sure that JD (Doward) will buy one.

Well Ace,

In my opinion the 52MM is a HUGE upgrade over the stock rad.

I'll do it mathematically for you.

Core Volume Comparison.

Stock
32MM's Millimeters by 376 Millimeters Tall by 648 Millimeters Wide.
converted to inches (for easier comparison for us Americans.)
1.25984252 inches by 14.8031496 inches by 25.511811 inches
1.25984252*14.80314968*25.511811
=
475.786024
=
475.8 in^3

Koyo/CSF AL.
52MM's Millimeters by 376 Millimeters Tall by 648 Millimeters Wide
2.04724409 inches by 14.8031496 inches by 25.511811 inches
2.04724409*14.80314968*25.511811
=
773.152288
=
773.2 in^3

Thats a difference of 297.4 cubic inches or a gain of 56% in radiator mass!.

Now the stock rad was already overkill was the factory (been proven)

The 38MM or over radiators just add icing to the cake. :D

This also proves that your rads Ace are really good bang for the buck!
(i'm just going with a Koyo for looks)

^i've also proven i'm nuts. ;)

Lots of other factors to cooling as well. In stop and go traffic with the AC blairing the temp will rise.

I'll just see how bad it is, and if i have to; i'll add a Davies Craig Electric water pump to supplement the factory one. (Like everyone's favorite Aussie) ;)

Ah, 1.25" I didnt have a stock one here for reference. I coulda dug it up online, but didnt really feel like it. It definately IS an upgrade, just saying there's better for less and that a 56% isnt really a "Double Volume" radiator is it? Its a 1.5 volume. Also consider the tanks. Although it wont make that much of a difference a larger tank that holds more water has more liquid to dissipate that heat into. Plus dont you think the rads that dont have the notches cut out for the OEM top mounts can flow the water to those extremities better? Either way a 2" rad in your car will definately cool it better than stock! But imagine what a 2.5" core can do :D
But, my Mishi for example does sit pretty high. They dont interfere witht he stock hood because of the cowling but now with my fiberglass hood, I had to trim a notch into one of the vents to let the cap sit there so I can close the hood all the way, lol

^well i've proven that your Rads are the Best Bang for the Buck on the market.

They offer a good margin of cooling. :)

I personally want a Koyo. :rofl:

Dont bother with the Aluminum CSF rad, I had one and it didnt fit well, I needed to grind of 1/4" of my lower rad support to fit it (at the bottom tank). Also the part where the rad cap goes is pretty flimsy and will wear out after a while........Sepnd the extra $50-100 and get the Koyo, you wont be dissapointed.

For clarification, there are 2 CSF all aluminum radiators.

There is the 'street' version which is of similar thickness to stock, though fully welded aluminum.

There is also the 'race' version which is the ~52mm like koyo/fluidyne/pwr etc.
