just a quick questions guys......i'm planning to buy a koyo radiator but i'm not sure if my stock radiator is a denso or showa......some of my friends told me to look on top of my stock radiator and it should tell me if i have a showa or denso......i've looked all over it and have found nothing but on my ac condenser it says showa so iono if thats right or wrong......any info would be great o yeh my gsr is a 95 just to let u guys knoe thx

 

late night bump.....

 

doesnt matter as long as its for your car, mine had a koyo now its a fluidyne, its thicker so it runs a few degrees cooler thats about it

 

so u telling me denso or showa the 2 models they have in koyo doens't matter lol confused......cause they told me it did because how it fits or something like that

 

if its made for a gsr from 94-01 then it really doesnt matter because they all meet the rite specs one way or another, one may be thicker or thinner but they will both line up the same

It DEFINATELY matters which one you pick, Showa or Denso. Because the fans for the two different OE brand radiators are slightly different.

So if you buy a Denso replacement KOYO, and it turns out your radiator is the Showa brand, your fan will not line up properly for fitment.

Sorry I can't tell you how to find out which model you have, but make sure you get the correct replacement! Good luck.

 

oic......so if i do end up buying the wrong one i can just replace the fans then with the right year lol.........well iono cause on my stock radiator it doesn't say anything on it but on my ac condenser it says showa so is that the right one.......any help would be great thx........if i remember correctley all year 94-95 is denso and 96-01 is showa correct me if i'm wrong

 

have you used the search feature....
also if i were you i would head over to TI ......
Well it matters if your planning to use the stock fans...but most will use slim fans 1. beacause it free up space 2. it cools better then stock(depending on brand)3. you can use it as a pusher or puller....
Also look around either on your fan radiator anything to give you a hint that says showa or denso....also hit up your koyo or fluidyne dealer and ask him....but its less headache with a slim fan imo....

 

wat is a good brand of slim fans and are they easy to install thx...........
