I bought a new Koyo radiator off one of the HT sponsors for $285.00 shipped. It's a top quality piece. The tanks are all aluminum. Well, the whole radiator is aluminum. It's also polished.

Definately better than factory IMO and it holds more coolant.

I have the fluidyne rad on my car and it fits perfect, looks nice and probably costs less than a stock unit. Koyo is also really good, I think the fluidyne is a bit thicker.
Either one would be the way to go.

I have C&R. It's a nice piece. Might be cheaper than Fluidyne.

Radiators.com had my oem replacement delivered (personally delivered, HAH) in 14 hours! For 120, it wasn't too bad.

I think this happens to the majority of Integras. With 100k miles I know I am doomed.

Sorry, OEM replacement is not<U></U> OEM! Aftermarket aluminum high performance is the way to go!

The oem radiator actually does a good job. If your not racing then I would get an oem replacement.

Cheaper? Where? I swear I looked and they were 100 bucks more than the Fluid or Koyo.

Does anyone have a pic of the koyo after some miles with no polishing or cleaning? Also are there any clearance issues with the koyo radiator, ac, and a normal header(toda)?

I believe the Koyo's are 55mm; looks like close to double of a stock unit IIRC.

There's a few pics on this page of the Griffin I use. It's thicker as well but without the fans running it never comes up to the halfway mark, just a notch below where it should be.

Yes Jim, I have the fans but I had tested to see how I was going to hook them up, either on a switch or like the stock ones on the thermal switch.
