Koyo and Griffin are the best ones. and some great coolant "Evan's Coolant" its a litte pricy 28bucks a gallon but you dont have to change it for the rest of your cars life. plus its boiling point is 375 degrees instead of water which boils at 215 degrees or somewhere around there

I have a Fluidyne and it works AWESOME. The Koyo is the same size as the factory one, I don't know about the others but the Fluidyne is twice as thick. I have had a fluidyne in 2 other cars and been extremely pleased with all of em...Go for the Fluidyne!

If you got money, get a fluidyne to be extra safe. The koyo is can be found for pretty cheap on ebay and it works rea good. It gives 30% more cooling over stock, which is good enough for most applications.

I am probably going to run at the track somtimes (northern california, it's hot here)
so I need more than the Koyo.
I also have a FMIC and a 60-1 Hybrid turbo which produces excess heat.
Anyone running at the track have any suggestions?
I'm leaning towards the Fluidine or AWR.

koyo is good enough. i have the same fmic and at buttonwillow or thunderhill I havent seen water temps over 92* C after a 30 minute session. This is with the stock clutch fan. coolant/water mix also influences water temps but more importantly proper ducting.

Haven't we ALL heard this
I have the koyo, fmic, and no AC. I never have water temp problems. That is with the factory fan/shroud.
However, if you have a FMIC you really should have an oil temp gauge...oil temps are going to rise.

I have AC in the car thats why I'm thinking I need more than a Koyo. The AWR seems promising it's the one mazda uses in their race cars. Mazdatrix also uses one.
I know about the ducting I talked to Carl Byck, I'm going to seal everything up this weekend.
I might cut a vent in my FC 2000 front end too the mouth in the kit is very low, lower than the bottom of the FMIC.
