Radiators

I am going to be purchasing a new radiator possibly in the nest month, and I was wondering what high performance radiator for my 1991 RX-7 and I was wondering what you would recommend me get (fluidyne,koyo,etc.). I would really apreciate it .

Yes. My fluidyne dropped right in and works great. That, in conjunction with the electric fan, makes for rock-solid temperature control.

If you're willing to pay for it, I say Fluidyne. Mine works great.

I have heard good things about the Fluidyne radiators. I myself have the Mazdacomp radiator (its HUGE) and im quite happy with it. The one thing i can say about the Mazdacomp one is that because its so big (and thick) you NEED the Black Magic electric fan, anything else just doesnt cut it in the hot weather (it hits 110 here in Sacramento). With that combination my water temp coming out of the motor never gets any hotter than about 205 degrees F, and i have a big front mount intercooler as well! Good luck in your search for your radiator.

205 degrees

Dude, you should be running at 185 degrees in normal traffic.
