Which is the better radiator to use in a FC to keep my 20b cool,have a few choices ,Fluidyne,koyo or Afco Racing.Need to know this,Thanks.

 

i used koyo in my fd

 

what sepcs for that KOYO? and what did it cost ya? what about fluidine? and...?
sorry ,im in the market too, the miata one will not cut it.

 

i believe the koyo costs around 300, and i like it better then the fluidine cause its thicker, and no i dont think the miata one will cut it
i am not to clear about the "sepcs" ,

 

I'm using Afco Racing. Cost me about $500cdn.

 

specs. _______
dimensions LxHxW
koyo being thick could work well for me if its slender. and ya i figured 3-450.oo would be the est. cost on that item.
The miata one barely cut it w/ the turbo setup i had b4.

 

26" x 19" x 3" for entire rad

Griffin is better than anything else on the market. All you need to do is give them the requirements, dimensions, and placement of bungs, and they will make you a radiator with the proper tube size, fin count, and number of rows.

I second Griffin. Excellent product for a good price (Y)

 

I dunno if this is universal or if it was my particular unit I bought, but my Griffin had epoxy end-tanks.

I'd rather go furnace brazed anyday!

The Griffin cores are high-magnesium vacuum furnace brazed, which is stronger than the usual softer aluminum vacuum furnace brazing, CAB, or COB process used in other high-performance radiators. This stronger bond allows for more thermal and shock load, which is why these radiators are better for racing. Also, for the ricers, there is the added advantage that vacuum brazing produces a shiny finish, lol. Anyway, the epoxy is there to strengthen the tube to header joint for more resistance to vibration and give an added measure of leak resistance. As for the end tanks, you may have noticed the welds were reinforced by the thick header design, which basically makes the weld joint twice as thick as the end tank itself. Don't worry, the best radiator on the market is not simply glued together.

Cliff Notes: Griffin radiators ARE furnace brazed. The epoxy is just added as an additional strengthener and sealant.

 

hey!!!!!..........what ya talking `bout my koyo is shiny man!!!!! , ads 50 extra horses too

 

I was talking to some guys up here that race cascar and they told me that they switched there rads from griffin to afco because of the epoxy. I forgot why but i will ask him again.
