Assuming its the same dimensions as all the other radiators listed ( which I’m pretty confident it is) I had no problem with fitment on the filter side fan, but had to notch the top of the fan housing to fit around the after cooler on my sc set up. Not a big deal.

And I take it you have verifiable proof of this.....

If I lived in Europe, it would be my understanding that all Americans are fat and stupid. And everyone that lives in Texas wears a cowboy hat and boots. Of course, none of that is true.

By the way, the Chinese/Taiwanese have gotten really good at making fake shit:

Just because stuff LOOKS similar doesn't mean it's "all made in the same factory".

There are even fake turbos. Can you tell the difference?

You cannot use the OEM Honda radiator cap with the Koyo radiator. I am not sure of the exact size but I know there are other brands that will fit the Koyo radiator. I myself just purchased a Koyo radiator cap for my Koyo radiator.

When it comes to non mechanical devices, like a radiator. You might want to make the consideration. I'm not the only guy who has said these radiators are just re badged from the same source, I'm merely regurgitating what I have heard form what I deem some reputable sources, and after myself and a couple friends in the club have got one of these with different badges, I have no reason to think otherwise. So again, you can get the same exact radiator with a badge for $100 more, or get one without. I personally like my Full Blown stamp on mine so I got that one. Urination contest over.
