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?

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

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.
