aftermarket radiators
was wondering if anyone has raw data (numbers) on fluidyne vs koyo radiator as far as engine/water temps go. I know fluidyne is 50% larger than stock and koyo is 100% .. blah blah blah .. but i cant find a thread that talks about differences as far as temps are after using either product

Battery relocation is not necessary with a Koyo - if you're prepared to spring for a an Oddysey (sp?) battery... mine fits very nicely...
And the Koyo has reduced my temps at the track to comfortable levels....

On what data do you base that statement?
I didn't give a toss about the plastic end-tanks. I changed to Koyo to reduce my temperatures, particularly at the track.. and it was worth every cent...

There have been ton of post on the differeces between the stock and Aftermarket radiators.
Aftermarkets ones do cool better, its been shown many times on this fourm, not to mention the plastic end tanks wont crack on you

Guys who run their cars on road courses, however, do notice the difference.

:P i went the fluidyne route cause i heard it was a direct fit .. unfortunately i spent most of the time trying to get it to fit right the stock fans wouldnt line up with the radiator so i had to chizzle at the fan bolt holes it to make it fit .. im sorta regretting getting the fluidyne .. i dont really notice much difference between the stock and the fluidyne .. would it be the same if i were to go with the koyo? or would there still be no noticeable difference as far as street driving is concerned?
