Koyo is thick and cant work with some FMIC...But its cheaper at $350
Fluidyne is about 1/2 inch thinner than the Koyo. Direct replacement. But its over $425.
Be on the safe side go with the Fluidyne.

thanks a lot i was planning on getting a Fluidyne to begin with but I was reading about both and Saw the Koyo has a half year more warranty and is thicker and suppose to cool a bit better, but i am lazy and don't want to have to worry about making it work with a FMIC.
P.S. if anyone else is looking for one and has not came across Absolute radiator yet I would reccomend going there for cheap prices.

I have the Koyo and my temps don't soar at all. I recommend the Koyo and it's cheaper.
you can use the Koyo with a front mount !!!!!
the only problem I have is the Koyo is so thick, it pushes my M2 lg I/C up so I have to remove the hood prop. I just keep it behind my seat.

I installed the Fluidyne into a 93 base model and the only problem I encountered was with the stock radiator hoses. Due to the extra thickness of the radiator I found myself having to trim small amount of material off the hoses. Other than that it fits great.

with reference to the fluidyne
Like I said before the Fluidyne is direct bolt on and in addition i wanted to say that there is a deference in the cooling temp. My car does run cooler than when i had the stock one in. I guess that would be the same if you would up grade with other brands. But I can tell you that from the 4 diff. brands i looked at , having experiance with aluminum welding & mods., the fluidyne was the best built and the most for your $.

I got my Koyo radiator off of ebay for $350....with tax and shipping the total was $390. It came with a lifetime warranty. I haven't installed it yet.....I will be putting it in with my greddy FMIC and all my other mods in the early spring. I've throughly checked out the koyo though....everything is perfect on it.
