My factory radiator shot on me yesterday as I got home from the mall (pinhole in the inside row). So, I'm shopping for a new one and trying to get one ordered today so I can have it for the weekend.

I have the H22A lightly modified and I don't ever plan on boosting it. I want to keep up my reliability with the car as it is my daily driver. My question is should I just got a factory replacement (I've quoted them for $150-250) or go with a performance radiator such as the koyo (http://www.importrp.com/product.php?...&cat=67&page=1) $366?

Also, any other brand recommendations?

 

just get an eo replacement, it's good enough

I got mine for $117 shipped to me. 3 years with many track events under my belt. Still looks new.

 

Where'd you get it from?

Also... one thing I'm noticing is that all of these radiators I'm pricing are with 1 row. The one I currently have in the car is a 2 row. Does it make a difference going from a 2 to a 1 or what?

 

If it's labeled as an OEM replacement it should have the same thermal capacity for cooling as the one you have now. If you need one I would recommend going to http://www.importrp.com call up Mike and tell him Chris sent you.. he'll get you a good deal.

Or he can call up billy bob joe thorton and tell him bob wickets sent him lol. Then he'll get the UBER deal. Na just get a OEM replacement from ebay it will be fine. I mean unless you plan on doing heavy modding or if you were reving your engine a lot doing road races then I'd say upgrade but your not so OEM is good. The install should be easy as hell too here is a link to a thread I started when I replaced my radiator. It's got solid advice on how to do it yourself as it's VERY easy, and a diagram!
