Default Koyo radiators?

Has anyone tried the Koyo radiators? I was thinking about getting either California Custom or a Fluidyne. Its going in a 95' civic w/B16a. So give me your info.

The local dealership thought the Koyo's were over priced. He suggested getting Fluidyne.

Grey16, you are stationed on Edwards air force base? I work nearby if thats the case.

I hear Koyo's are pretty good. Mike Kojima of SCC used one on his seriously **** build up of his 300ZXTT. The radiator was more than three times thicker than stock. He was, at one time, an engineer on an IMSA factory race team, therefore I value his opinion.

I've got a Koyo. It works great. Ever since I installed it my A/C has been colder and most of the time condensation starts blowing out of the vents. Looks pretty cool...

I just installed my Fluidyne one (made for an Integra) in my 95 Civic , fit was awesome and it cools like you wouldn't beleive. Workmanship is top notch, and it looks very nice too, but the only downside was the price, about $350 for an Integra one.

I would go with the Koyo, it has a 55mm thick core. For comparison, the Fluidyne has a 38mm core.

It depends on where you get them on the price. I've heard very good things about KOYO.

So I'm looking to spend about 350 or so for either a Fluidyne or a Koyo. That works for me.
