Replacement Sports Radiator

Can someone tell me which of the uprated radiators is the least hastle to fit?

Most of the Radiators seem to require bits cut away or don't have the facility to fit the car with air con.

Just after some recommendations.

Thanks

Andy

The Fluidyne seems the be the least hassle overall.

The Koyo is cheaper ($345 shipped new in box on Ebay) and larger, but seems to require a little more persuasion to make it fit well (although the reports on how much work is needed varies widely on the forum).

I just cracked the endtank on my stock unit and am going with the Koyo on a fairly stock car. I'll try and post a writeup of the process once I finish.

Good luck,

Both Koyo and Fluidyne will do their jobs well. Koyo is bigger but being that you want the most hassle free fitment I would suggest going with Fluidyne. I have yet to read a bad review about fluidyne radiators, they are quality pieces.

when you get a new radiator i think you should buy a new drain plug. mine broke while driving around. they are cheap plastic parts.
