I thought the fluidine or koyo rought was $$ as well. Its realy a bargin. If you start pricing electric fans moding another RAD to fit or even high high end RADS your talking the KOYO rad as the cheepest investment pice. Just bite the 315$ for koyo you will be happy

I went cheap and got a cheap brass replacement... cost $180 I think? Works... no plastic endtanks... and saved me some money. *shrug*

Otherwise, haven't heard of anyone swapping in any rads from any other cars... plus a junkyard rad is bad news anyway... like iceblue said, you might just have to bite the $315 bullet.

What do you have in your car for a radiator, what kind of mods do you have, and why do you think you need a bigger one?

If you're running warm, check things like the thermostat first.

Ok, you've got a reason for a bigger radiator. :-)
