like topic say i order Koyo aluminum radiator and they saler ask me if my car is running Denso or Showa radiator...my car stock radiator is replace with a different one long time ago...so i dont know whihc one i have please help

 

Call the dealer, tell them you need a new radiator. Give them your VIN# and they'll be able to find out which one your car came with.

 

Mine's came with a Denso, 99gs btw.

 

My 1997 LS came with a Showa.

 

'95 GSR came with Showa.. about to replace the sucker today..

 

From what I understood, Densos were in Coupes, Showas in sedans. I have a 94 and when searched by part #, only car showa was set out for was teh DB8. I could be wrong, but thas what i know..

Nope, my 94 GS-R coupe came w/ a Showa.

I put in a CSF radiator back in March, and put that metallic Showa sticker from the old one on it.

 

Maybe Showas were a B18c1 part, Densos for b18b1's?&gt;

me too!

 

oh well we all have mix wtf.....i trust denso cuz they are the shesh man..all the sensors in CIVIC and Integra are made by DENSO...so wat are you going for? denso is Jspec too...lol showa? never heard of it

 

I want to say that all of the GS-R radiators were made by Showa and lacked the extra coolant nipples in the lower end tank for the transmission coolant lines.

All of the radiators with the nipples for the tranny coolant supply were made by Denso.

I think that's the correct generalization. If anybody can de-myth it for us, please do.

P.S. My '95 GS-R hatch had a Showa, as did my roommate's '95 GS-R hatch.

 

my 95 Ls 3dr has a showa rad. sorry IN VTEC

 

97 RS has Showa. And it only came in coupe.

 

95 ls w/showa

 

You should get a fluidyne. I have one and it is basically bulletproof.
