Default a good OEM radiator ?

Hi there, I am in the market of a new radiator since mine is leaking on the bottom.

I saw some koyo brand on ebay that is in a good price range about $105 shipped.....

Has anybody tried this brand before.. ? I need oem because I dont have money for a racing one... like fluidyne ones....

any recomended brand will be great... thanks

If it is a REAL koyo radiator, then that is an insane price, cause usually koyo cost a little bit more than fluidyne. So i highly doubt that the ebay radiator is a real koyo. Hit up autozone or whatever your local auto parts store to get a replacement for cheap.

Well if he is running a stock motor or even a b16, the stock radiator should be fine. Its not like the integra one is longer or anything..........they are both full size radiators.

I guess........the local auto parts store should have one for prolly $150 or less for an oem crx one. And they could prolly get it to him in a couple days. Unless they already have it in stock.

Dude that **** doesnt look anything like a "performance" koyo radiator. Koyo's have their emblem painted over the fins of radiator and they are in a polished form. Not in black........I think the just put a picture of a koyo advertisement and try to sell them as koyos. Thats exaclty y i hate Ebay GO TO YOUR LOCAL AUTOZONE. they will prolly give a warranty, instead of trusting some douchebags selling fake crap on ebay.
