Default BEST RADIATOR?!

Bottom line, what is the BEST radiator, money isnt an issue, just the plain flat out BEST radiator. 92-95 civic size.

C&R
Fluidyne
PWR
Koyo
and others.

C&R. I bought one for my 95 civic drag size and I got the wrong one. The company sent me the 96-00 civic instead. I'm selling this one if anyone is interested email me at r.adona@comcast.net

there is no best one man. they are all top notch radiators and you won't notice a bit of difference between them.

Although the fluidyne is only a single core and the others are a dual core.

Doesn't matter really but I like the C&R or PWR...PWR being the most affordable.

btw I have a PWR

for some reason, a fluidyne and a c&r side by side, the fluidyne seems alot thicker?

i want to know the same thing. the thing is the koyo is 50mm which is thick. thats 2 inches. surface area is what makes for the coolest coolant.

I would say the PWR units are the best bang for the buck right now.

C&R is what we use. the quality is great and never had 1 problem with any of them. the fans come snicely mounted on them too. unlike th eothers where you have to get a fan seperate
