they are equal in quality to what the price is. The only thing I don't like about these is that the inlet/outets aren't the same size as the B-series hoses. They have the smaller diameter inlet/outlets

Those radiators are made by yonaka motorsports. I used to be a dealer for them. They are definately not equivalent to a Koyo or PWR. The polishing job is half-assed. 3 out of 5 I sold had leaks right out of the box and had to be replaced by Yonaka. Each time I had this problem they said " Really? We never have any problems with these..." Funny because every other one I ordered leaked. Why did I order more than one cause they are cheap. And if you get one that doesn't leak then you are good to go. But the finish on the Koyo and quality of the Koyo are way superior to these.

used from a reputable seller maybe. remember, you are talking about the most important part of your vehicles cooling system.

I bought one of those on ebay for $99. It's a cheap flimsy POS compared to my Fluidyne, but I'm only using it for my air/water intercooler, so it's fine for that. I use a Fluidyne to cool my engine, and I'd recommend a Fluidyne or other reputable brand of radiator to cool yours. I've heard good things about the Koyo's, but never used one on my car.
