Ive seen alot of people running them, but personally I would save up another 100 bucks or so and get a koyo.

never heard of one of those leaking..
i'm guessing if they leaked we'd hear about it by now.

But honestly.. it's not that hard to make a freakin radiator.. koyo/fluidine/etc are overpriced.
people who buy those are paying for the bling 99% of the time. And don't get me wrong, i'm not knocking it, if I had the money i'd take one over a cheap ebay or streetimports one as well, mainly cuz koyo/fluidyne look so damn cool in ur engine bay.

but if it's performance you care about ,
just get the cheaper ones, which still look pretty good, alot better than stock... just need alil polish.

I have the exact same radiator pictured about for post up and the hoses were a bitch to get to fit that radiator, and the cap that came with mine leaks a bit but other than that it was worth every penny.

Worst case is you run it and it leaks so you buy a good one the second time around. Ive heard nothing but good things about those ebay radiators.

I have a boosted LS motor and I have a fluidyne and love it but you could run a stock and be just fine if all your running is a all motor B16
