I'm looking to replace the stock radiator. I keep seeing the same three radiators from PWR, Fluidyne, and Koyo pricing from $375 up to $500. Here are my questions:
1: Which one is the better one? 2: Which ones do you have to make mods to or are they true direct fit? 3: Where can I pick one up cheap? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/dunno.gif |
1. basically they all perform the same
2. I think with the Koyo you need to relocate your battery. I believe the other 2 are a direct fit. 3. Try www.absoluteradiator.com or any of our usual rx7 sites. |
the pwr and the fluidyine are the same, the pwr guy was fired/quit from fluidyne.
the koyo will fit without relocating the battery mike |
flyidyne https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/BURNOUT.gif , yeh seriously check out the usual sites, theres a lot of diff ones
|
sweet,
i went with the fluidyne, i also had to relocate it the rear though because of my single turbo kit |
Got a Koyo...looks good, cools good, cheaper than the others
|

I have done two koyo installs. I just had to modify the A/C condenser brackets and the lower radiator brackets slightly. No big deal.
|
I'm happy with the Koyo.. :bigok:

I dont know your cash situation at the moment, or your mods.
If your in need of a rad, and perhaps a IC. I would recommend going with Chucks (Rotary Extreme) New V-Mount setup. For the price you pay for the rad now, and IC down the road(if you may need/want one), you can kill two birds with one stone, and possibly get the best setup going right now. The Kit includes a custom Rad, IC, and all the hard wear to hook it up. Look into it and see what you think. If you have a IC, then....oh well. cheers Shawn |
i've got a PWR
|
I have a Fluidyne and it is a straight drop in, I didn't have to modify or cut anything.. the quality is excellent. I am sure the Koyo/PWR are quality products as well..
|
i went with koyo
|
I went Fluidyne, I heard it was tought to fit the larger Koyo in with my Blitz FMIC.
|
I went with a PWR when I installed my FMIC.
IF I HAD A SINGLE I'd get a Griffin Rad. It's the biggest thing you can fit in the car and is used by a lot of the track guys-eg M2's car. As an added bonus they're much cheaper than the other aftermarket units, albeit not a pretty looking-not polished. I was told by M2 that it won't fit with the stock twins. At the time I was more concerned about installing the IC so I didn't do any further research. Recently I've seen a couple installed with single turbos and I can't see why it wouldn't fit with the stock twins. |
i have the fluidyne. haven't seen a griffin from M2. is it custom made for them ?
|

my Fluidyne work out pretty good, don't know if it was worth the extra mo tho
|
Guys... SR Motorsports had their "Ultimate Radiator" on sale. It's pretty thick. I bough it last week for $385. I don't know if it's still that cheap.

anyone know if this rumour is true about the SRMOTORSPORTS Alum.RAD. They say it's the same as KOYO, just srmotorsports buys it and puts their own name on it????
It's the 2.1" thick alum. RAD. (was on sale $389.00) Now $599.00! |
I installed my SR Motorsports "Ultimate Radiator" today. I am happy to report that it fit perfectly with absolutely ZERO modification or adjustments.
It's a nice looking quality piece too. We'll see how it cool on my next mountain climb... |
