why upgrade the radiator?
I know it sounds like an odd questions but Im running single, and with all my mods and even running 1 bar or boost the car water temps on the pfc dont go above 85 even in gridlock traffic, why would I want to upgrade? Im just asking because if there is a reason i dont know about ill switch.
If you ever take your car to the track, you will want one.
The main reason to switch is the stock radiator has plastic end tanks. Over time, the plastic goes bad and then your radiator will fail -- probably at a very inopportune time.
I just replaced mine a month ago -- a 95 with 68k miles and the end tanks were just about shot.

bigger/newer radiator means there will be way more coolant then the stock radiator, if you have your car to race you will NEED one, even if not its still good to have one cause you prolly know by know rotary engines tend to get hot very fast... fluidine makes a great radiator you should look into purchasing one.

heres one for you. . . i upgraded to a koyo and have noticed no difference in water temps. i hit 111 deg. C one day. while constant driving it hits no higher than 85. its peace of mind. . . and it looks better. . . and plastic just doesnt last as long as aluminum.
