I have a koyo on my civic project. There wasn't any cooling difference, but it is beeeeuutiful! If you want a difference in cooling, youll want better fans switch radiator, etc...

what kind of set-up are you running? If your running an n/a set-up there is really no need to buy a 300-400 radiator unless you want it for the looks. In the case koyo or C&R radiator with a slim spal fan...

yes man ~ i'm running N/A setup on my R and somehow i read water temp increase from my Power FC commander recently, that's why i'm considering replace the radiator would help to cool it down a bit~~

Why do you want to cool the motor? Is it over heating? Are mods causing it to run hot? What type of ECU setup? What are your current temps?
What has been the high temp? What is your current cooling system, stock? Why not start with cleaning out the stock system? Stock ECU R needs to be in a certain range to operate properly. Cool it too much and runs to rich will be bad.

Oil coolers are great. Cool oil temps and warm antifreze is the way to have it.
Stock system is very good even for those who do a lot of HPDEs.

Going for the bling look? be honest....

Yes, fans will help cool, but it is a combination to help. If it is just bling factor drop in a koyo with some slim fans.
