Radiator

Hi everyone,
I have a 1993 Rx 7 FD and I was hoping to learn exactly what kind of radiators I can install. I currently have everything stock in my car, but I don't know exactly what route I would like for my care yet. If anyone has any ideas of how to mod my car please let me know. I am still unsure of what mods are compatible and I'm not too sure how each one will impact the different aspects of performance.

To be honest, I would decide exactly what you want to do with the car before you go haphazardly modding one part at a time. For example, why do you need to change the radiator?

Best thing you can do is learn from people's past experiences as posted in the 3rd gen FAQ thread:
https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generation-specific-1993-2002-16/faq-3rd-gen-other-useful-links-68640/

Pay particular attention to the links in the C section for Cooling.

outtothefarside has a good suggestion as well.

The Fluidyne radiator is one of the better options available for the FD. It is a drop in and fits better than the Koyo. You can find them from a reputable vendor like rx7.com.

Well to be honest I'm not sure what to do, I have a friend that's helping me out and telling me ways to help prevent my car from breaking down. He told me that I would need a new radiator. All my parts in my car are stock (under the hood)

Alright thanks for your advice, how would I know which would be better? how much would I be looking at?
