Hey guys I need to find out what radiator is most common among TII's.

I know of the following: Koyo, Fluidyne, K2RD, OEM, Stock replacement metal, Mazda Competition, PWR, and the RP competition radiator. If any others are out there please post up.

This isn't for my personal mod list. This is a bit of market research for a soon to be released product.[low voice]TII CAI[/low voice]


And I need to see what the majority of the market is running. Personally I will be running a K2RD or Fluidyne. But with the K2RD you need to do major work to get a CAI and IC in there.

And yes I WILL be buying all of the stuff I have been posting about. But not for about another month. It will all begin with teh LTX and Turbo/IC then I will be buying the parts for it to run good without problems.

My Koyo Rad came In 2 weeks ago. I Installed It last week and I appreciate the bling It's brought to the Engine Bay. As for efficiency, I dunno. My FC has been down for over a month.

I am running the Stock radiator, but had it rodded out and leaks fixed. Sooo it flows just like it did new, I have never had any problems with it since and it only cost me $100 at the radiator shop

I should add, it is not a drop in, and does not have the personal FC items needed to run stock sensors.
The K2 is a great unit for the price if you need the sensor bungs.

FWIW, the mazdacomp and rx7.com competition are the same thing.... and I have one of those. Dave at fc3s.org seems to have good prices on them.

OEM never had problems with cooling (when there isn't a coolent leak)

temps usally stay around 185-195 in this hot texas weather rarely ever see it go past 210

I've got the Koyo, works good enough to keep my temps at a solid 190 in 100+ degree weather, no matter how hard I push it.
