always good to know

Yeah... one of my buddies just bought the SR Motorsports and yes it is indeed just a rebadged KOYO! The label on the box is cleverly covered up and then they attached their own plaque to a Koyo Radiator and charge you more for it.





Interesting... not sure if I'll buy from those guys again...

LOL.. I dont think he's talking about SR as in SR Motorsports.... but SR as SR20DET(S14) that is the radiator that I'm running.



toddp31.. When I was on okinawa I was seeing mostly around 90C in traffic. Mid to high 80s when cruseing... but when I turned A/C(removed) on to 3 or higher I was seeing around 77C or lower. Damn good Radiator.

i should clear this up. when i said/wrote SR i meant...SR MOTORSPORTS who likes to take a perfectly good product put SR all over the box and product and sell it as theirs. i heard they did the same thing with the KKK turbo(some sort of diesel company turbo) and a few other products. they really should stop selling stuff like that. i will provide a long link where ernieT was really protecting SR for some time. i in no way am putting down ERNIE T, except he shouldnt have sold the beast.

suprfast.. good info! but I was talking about toddp31's referance to "SR"

toddp31 07-22-2003 05:09 PM

A friend has a SR20 S14 radiator and is a very nice, big and overall well made. I can get a Koyo for around 300-350 over here, I will most likely go with that. Thanks for the info guys.

what about the apexi gt spec radiator. i would have gotten that one if i could have got it here in the states..instead i went ahead with a fluidyne..

toddp31 07-22-2003 05:50 PM

I was looking into getting a apex radiator because they are only 34,000 Yen. They really don't seem to be that much bigger than stock. If i remember right they are only 29mm wide, stock is 25mm. I really can't find any info in english about them, but it is an option.

Koyo seems to be generic fit and Fluidyne is car specific (and polished).



PWR is new to the states and M2 (allegedly) rebadges it as theirs.



AWR is imported by Mazdatrix and is the only company that makes an aluminum version for automatics.



Mazdaspeed (allegedly) rebadges Griffin, which you can buy (Griffin) from Summit racing.
