Radiator Choices ?
Koyo ? Fluidyne ? Or Mazda Competition Radiator ?
I read a lot about Koyo and Fluidyne. with mixed reviews but a bit more good things about Fluidyne than Koyo.
I have access to MazdaMotorSports and they do sell a Compeition Radiator.
My FC has some stock garbage so yeah Im going to change it.
What do you guys think? thanks

Aluminum high flow radiator is bolt in replacement for stock unit. Thicker than stock at 3-1/4', it provides superior cooling in racing conditions
What do you guys think? thanks

my koyo works awsome, but i paid way too much for it (because my car is just a casual tuning project)
the godspeed's on ebay are only like $200, they should work fine.
PS the radiator is not "high flow" is just a larger tanks and core, allowing the system to hold more coolant and therefor giving it a better cooling capacity.

The stock fan never turns ON or OFF, it always spins.
IMO, the best argument for the efan is the cooling when idling.
In traffic, at low speed and RPM, the stock fan is producing it's least potential amount of airflow...just when you need it the most.
The efan on the other hand, pulls the same CFM regardless of engine speed.
Also, the efan (on a thermoswitch) is actually reacting to coolant temp while the thermoclutch is interpolating coolant temp by means of the surrounding air temp.
All this assumes the thermoclutch is still working like new...a risky assumption for a 20 year old part.

Im using a Fluidyne Radiator (rx7) direct fit with a BlackMagic (Red Shroud) E-Fan - some customizations may need to take place. No problems here just re-wiring it for my turbo at the moment.
Purchased Fan from Summit and Radiator from Absolute Radiator.

Do any of the aftermarket radiators have NO PROVISION for a filler cap?
I have an EARLY 1986 (With overflow reservoir next to the leading coil and fuse block) and my filler cap is on the thermostat neck. (The neck is aluminum, unlike the plastic one that doesn't have the cap.)
I hate having a capped off overflow nipple and a second radiator cap that does nothing... Like the goggles.
