I have my car all torn apart now, and I have the coolant drained out. I figured now would be as good a time as any to swap radiators. What are the options available, and which is generally considered the best? I know of the Spearco and Koyo radiators, how do these two compare??

Thanks

Chris

 

Chris,

I've got the Koyo in my S and I've been happy with it so far. Fitment was perfect and the craftmanship is top notch. The radiator is a lot heavier than the stock one but roughly holds 50% more coolant. One item of note is that you can't use the stock radiator cap with the Koyo. It uses the older style cap.

 

Chris, while your doing the radiator, you ought to consider an air oil cooler if you don't have one already.

He had a good wright up on his C&R setup.
It might help you out.

 

Hi Chris,

I think the C&R setup is great -- although plumbing it took some time/patience. I'd highly recommend that you swap out your current oil filter relocation kit and block adapter for the CM parts -- www.cmfilters.com. Kevin at C&R was very helpful, the radiator dropped in as promised, and it's clearly a good (if expensive) solution to both high coolant temps and high oil temps.

Good luck,
CBender
