FLUIDYNE!


probably all the same...it's not a mechanical moving part...although there are minor differences...but any aluminum aftermarket radiator is better than OEM

i bought a fluidyne. the top looks a little bit better. the koyo is not that pretty on the top but it does have the KOYO logo raised and doesnt come with a radiator cap. anyways, like everyone said, they are all the same ish.

I have a used but in good shape koyo racing radiator for a 92-2k civic for sale. i'm asking $200+shipping. these go for about $350 new it's the racing model not the oem model.

email me oscar@mayer.net or pm me if your interested.

FYI the Koyo is about 1/2" thicker than the Fluidine and the end tanks are a little bigger. it seems to flow better as well. this is a side by side comparsion not just a guess.

after seeing a few companies I'd go with C&R for quality and craftsmanship.

I have a Yokanaka and the core material feels light cheap. Also, the cap doesn't look like it'll hold any pressure. Not sure if I can use a stock cap or not.

I used to also have a PWR, cuts in the raditator edges were sharp and felt similar to the Yonaka in core material.

My buddy had a C&R in his CRX and that thing was nice and heavy with beautiful welds and smooth egdes.
