PWR Radiator Experience
Anyone has bought and used PWR radiator?
Can you post some comments?
I also wants to know the dimension, is it thicker than Fluidyne? How does it perform? Any problem with install?
And photos of install would be great.
Thanks,
Reza

I just put in the M2 radiator which I believe to be the PWR radiator under another name. Well for me it works great. As far as the install check the SEARCH under radiator install. I used SR radiator install how-to and it was easy maybe the best step by step I've ever used.

I am not sure that PWR and M2 are the same. I too just had the M2 radiator installed. It just needed some minor trimming on the fan frame to fit due to the M2 SMIC. The RX7 store may still have the M2 radiators in stock. You might ask Jason if he knows the difference between the two.

I installed the PWR radiator this past weekend but haven't driven the car yet. The construction is first rate and it has all the stock fittings. I mounted it with a greddy 2 row FM and it was a tight fit. There is a bunch of info about it on a certain vender page that jason apparently doesn't like anyone to talk about since he deleted my entire post re my greddy fmic install because I mentioned that this nameless vender went out of his way for me. Really pisses me off because I took the time to write it and most of it had nothing to do w the vender.

That is one long run-on sentence...

I will tell you I tracked my FD in 100 degree tx heat two weeks ago at Motorsports Ranch. I drove the **** out of my FD at 11 psi and my temps stayed reasonable longer than the guys running stock rads.
Check out www.absoluteradiator.com
Koyos for $375 and Fluidynes for $420.

yep PWR (paul wheel racing) and m2 are the same. made in oz and shipped to US to be sold as m2. MIne went in with no problems but i have no air box. haven't started the car yet so can't comment on performance.

i've had a fluidyne before but it didn't fit perfectly with my m2 medium ic. next time i will try the koyo since i've heard reports it'll be ok with the intercooler.

I just bought a M2 radiator from Jason at the rx7store (thanks for getting it to me so quickly, Jason). It was slightly thinner than the Koyo that I had, and I need a bit more room for what I'm doing, so I sold the Koyo. Both the M2 and Koyo were nicely made and finished.
Regarding whether the PWR and M2 radiators are the same, I have no idea, but I can tell you there is no giant red PWR logo painted on the core of the M2

Supposedly the koyo cools *less* b/c it's too thick, which inhibits airflow. Take that last bit w/a grain of salt; I'm not sure how much stock I put in it.

Are you sure you didn't get them mixed up?

- PWR has a wider core, about 24.5" compared to 23 for the Ron Davis
- Ron Davis has some fins that seal the sides of the radiator, preventing air to escape past the sides
- Ron Davis radiators use some sort of epoxy to seal the tubes to the tanks. PWR doesn't
Sorry to dig up an old thread but if ya google PWR Rx-7 Radiator this is at the top and has misinformation.

This is still good to know if people have these radiators.
At this point it's hard to argue with the Koyo - quality fit, good performance, and will last damn near forever.
