Default Fluidyne or Koyo radiator for Civic 95EX-T ??

can't decide which one to buy ...

here's what my search ended up with

Fluidyne: a bit more expensive, may run the stock fan, better name IMO
Koyo: may not run the stock fan, better fit with the hoses, nicer look

so what do you think ?

.. don't know much about PWR radiators, but they look nice as well

I'm running a C&R and it came with a spal fan and looks very good, the price was about the same as a fluidyne. Of the two you are in ? about go with the cheaper, b/c one performs about the same as the other.

Get a dual core half-size copper rad off of ebay. They're like $30 and work just as well as the ones you listed.

Copper dissipates heat better than aluminum. Who cares if it doesn't last as long, you can buy like 10 ebay rads and it will still cost less than a single fluidyne.

That one looks a little shady. I think I'll get a good one.

Just so happens I ordered one from this guy. It's been 3 weeks now and he hasn't sent it. I sent an email yesterday asking what was going on and so far no reply. Just so happens he has 3 negative feedback and when I looked them up it was for this same radiator for the civic. So I don't know what the deal is. They people who left negative feedback did get there money back so I guess I shouldn't worry to much.

thatnks for all replies ... didn't expect that many to be honest

for some reason I'm more likely buying a Fluidyne one ... but as stated both should be prety much at the same level ...
