Modded T2 needs a new radiator! Help

I need to know where I can get a good radiator for my modded T2? I have heard that koyo is a good radiator. I know fluidyne is a great product.
I just need everyones advice on which to go with and how much I am looking to spend.

Thanks,
Josh

The fluidyne seems to be the #1 choice, since its a high quality, direct bolt-in replacement. You don't have to fabricate any brackets etc.

First off, why are you getting a new radiator? Is your stock one leaky? Overheating? There might be other solutions to your problem.

That said, the granddaddy big boy is the Mazdacomp radiator - all aluminum, 3" thick, $550. The Fluidyne is very reasonably priced, but isn't as honkin' big .

The only thing I don't like about the K2RD radiator is it looks WAY ghetto. Not to mention I found at one point where they're getting those radiators from for like $200 . I think they do modify them, though, for the coolant level sensor and stuff.

BTW, the "mystery fan" in the above pictures is the Black Magic fan.

Well i think that for now I am going to run another stock one until this winter till I can get some money for an E-fan also.
But if anyone has any info in a koyo that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Josh

Today i went to a radiator distributor near my house and asked about the KOYO rad for FCs. The guy cant find it in their catalog. I think he was looking at an old one. Anyways, the guy showed me a universal rad with a Gm configuration. Its 22" wide similar to those Griffin rads that some FC owners use with some modification. Im thinking of using one but im not too sure. I still have to do more research. Fluidyne are good..I heard www.absoluteradiators.com sell them cheaper than any place.
