What type of radiator are most of you using? I知 looking to upgrade my system and I知 not sure what brand to buy. I plan to install a M2 medium IC will there be any clearance issues.

Save $100 and get a koyo... I dont see any advantage of getting the Fluidyne. Both are pretty much the same size. Both are all metal.

You can ask Max Cooper what clearance issues he had with the Koyo or get either the Fluidyne or M2 radiator.

I wonder is the difference between the two then? Are they helping much with the hi-speed overheated problem?

Since I've gotten my Koyo, while driving my water temps have never gotten above 91c, no matter how fast or for how long. But I also have my fans kick on at 90c.

Do a search on Koyo and my screenname. You will see several posts by me addressing this.

My Fluidyne fit properly. I heard the Koyo had to have the mounts moved. That's why I didn't buy it.

I'd put up with the extra hour or two it takes to install the Koyo to save $100.

I have Koyo with Type 24 V-spec GReddy FMIC, GReddy Airinx intake, and small HC Power battery. 85 C during winter thus far. Ask Jason and Zavier about fitment; they did the install on my car.
