Exclamation Which Radiator do you have?

I have been searching and have yet to come across a radiator poll. I thought it might be a good idea just to see which is the most popular choice, along with that it may help with the divided desicion of which radiator is better.

Thank you for participating!

the PWR and fluidyne are identical, and the PWR is about $30 cheaper.. I went with the PWR.. The other big company is Koyo, but aparently its more of a problem with fitment vs. the pwr/fluidyne

My Koyo didn't fit with my PFS parts either. It was a huge PITA although I heard some other setups don't have this problem. Would have been a drop in without Peters parts.

My new Koyo is set up for V-mount. The craftsmanship is great on this unit.

I have KOYO with Greddy SMIC.
Installation was like eating sushi for the first time.
Hesitant at first, but once it's in your mouth its delicious.

I should be getting the Koyo soon. I dont know why everyone makes a fuss about it fitting correctly, I mean, how many parts have you bought that didnt fit first try?

Thumbs up

I've been using the Fluidyne for a few years and never had any problems. There were no fitment issues when it was installed using the stock ic and the GReddy 3 row ic. It's a great radiator, welds are done properly, and I would definitely recommend the Fluidyne radiator.

SR Motorsports I believe just put their logo on top of another radiator and is claiming that it was developed by them. You can do a search on SR and find many threads about their fake products.

Fluidyne, because I didn't want to deal with fitment issues. Stock should be listed as an option.

I'm going to go v-mount this winter. now I have the stock one(other). since I will have to customize the install anyway I will be going with the koyo. I am thinking that the inlet and outlets have to be repositioned and rewelded for maximum efficency, is this true?

SR uses a Koyo and they put a metal plate in front of the koyo sig, I found that out when it was removed from my car.
