im deciding whether or not to put a greddy 2 row fmic, koyo radiator, greddy dual intake, and apexi power fc and commander in this winter break. Any suggestions or comments?

 

everything you wanna add will just help your car out, and make it more reliable. with less heat. I'd get a vented hood to help your radiator out and possible remove the ac if you dont use it. takes my car almost 10 min to warm up since I took the condensor off as where it used to take only about 4 min.

 

IMO, unless you track the car, I would go with a PWR or Fluidyne. Then if you want an IC upgrade, go with an ASP/M2 Med or Large (depending on your needs).

 

why do you suggest not going with a koyo for a D/D car? just wondering. thanks.


Edit: 1000th post. w00t

 

For daily driving, you'll be doing a lot of stop and go. Since the Koyo is MUCH larger, you'll have a lot of coolant sitting in the radiator in that stop and go traffic without any airflow.

IMO, those are better suited for the track cars that have air constanstly coming in so you have a large volume of coolant being exposed to the radiator core and the incoming air.

 

ahhh.. i see now. good point. thanks.


Also. Dosent the koyo need some minor adjustments done to get it to fit properly as opposed to the fluidyne that fits perfect?

 

Yes, but just minor adjustments. I've never installed a Koyo myself, but I've seen posts from clayne and the others who have and the adjustments really don't seem to be a big issue.

 

 

Why not the Koyo? Its the thickest available, I think, isn't it?

 

he just answered that question!

pfc no doubt

 

For the reason I posted above about the stop and go daily driving.

 

Guess I should read the whole post next time..............lol........

 

pfc and fluidyne are my vote. pfc is really user freindly and although the radiator is not the sole cause of higher operating temps, my fluidyne has never failed me

 

u guys recommend a large smic over a fmic for daily driving?>

 

vmount instead

lol
