Koyo standard or N-Flow?

Hey guys,

i want to buy a new Radiator for my car, and wanted to order a wideband and a radiator from rx7store.net, but they carry only the Standard KOYO, not the N-Flow unit..

The standard KOYO is meant to be 30% better in cooling than the stock radiator.. but how much better is the N-Flow or "tripple-pass" compared to the Standard one?

ill run my car on the Autobahn and several times on the racetrack like Hockenheim or nurburgring in germany, its supposed to do 300rwhp, would i be fine with the STANDARD, or should i get the N-Flow?

thank you in advance

I doubt if anyone knows for sure whether or not the U flow (it's a double pass, therefore a U not an N) is any better than the normal one. I ordered a U flow because I figured that with the inlet and outlet on the same side there's going to be a lot more a preferential flow path through that one side of the radiator on a normal one, whereas the U flow will have better flow distrobution for better cooling. That's just my theory though.

Racing Beat has a pretty good price on the U flow.

It should be plug and play, the normal rad has both inlet and outlet on the same side, which is why it has to be a U flow across rather than an N up and down, which would put one connection on the other side, and it wouldn't work then. Mazdatrix has pictures of the actual unit on their site.
