Radiator Pricing Question

I looked on RX7.com, and saw the Koyo and the fluidyne, then i went to a couple other sites, and saw them for a lot cheaper. Which made me curious, is this fluidyne the same one that RX7.com sells? It has the same specs (38mm core, 5 sp only), yet it is almost $100 cheaper. Then i went to RXecret7 and saw the Koyo all aluminum radioator for only 375 bucks. Are these the same rads or not? Thanks in advance.

it's more than likely the same. I got mine from http://www.absoluteradiator.com They're great and it's much cheaper than most places. But the price does vary alot depending on where you get it.

koyos and fluidynes are different. while koyos might be thicker they have a few minor fitment issue that can be worked around. do a search for more detail. the fluidyne is drop in. i got mine from absolute radiator...good service.

Oh no, no no no, 7-eleven was on point on my main question. I was just curious as to if the Koyo and the Fluidyne from Nopi and RotaryXecret were the same units that were priced a tad bit higher on RX7.com's site.

I just wanted to see if anyone knew for certain that they were, before i buy and regret it. I guess i shoulda been more clear in my original question. my apologies.

their prob the same,- fluydine only makes 1 rad for the fd, im not shure abt koyo... its the big retail price thing, jason- rx7 store, tony-RotaryXecret , and others sell below the mfr retail price, rp pretty much sticks to the retail prices,

koyo's are nice rads, so are fluydines, if you dont mind doing a bit of work the koyo is more bang for you buck, the fluydiine drops in usally with 0 fitment problems, but cost more..

yeah I'm 99.9% sure they are the same. The Koyos are really cheap but since it is thicker, most sellers sell it for more for most of us that thinks bigger is better....

the best price I've seen is at www.phase2motortrend.com

375 for koyo and 415 for fluidyne.
