Default Radiator options...

Im looking to get a different radiator for my b18b in my 92 vx. I'm looking at the del slow dual cores, fluidyne, and there are also the pwr ones.

del sol- 130shipped
pwr - 290 shipped
fluidyne - 350+shipped?.

is there that much of a benefit of spending 2x as much over the del sol vtec one? i will be going turbo later but that shouldnt have me running too much hotter. opinions? and i did look at the other radiator threads.

I think you mean Toyo , they make factory radiators for honda

I would go with the 94-up showa rad from an Integra , it should be all the cooling you need

True, all I am trying to say is that he probably meant KOYO. Which can also be bought for around $130 or less.

I am considering a Koyo myself.. The Oem replacement style dual core For the delsol is 125 buckaroos. from radiators.com.
the koyo race spec radiator is pricy. May be overkill in a basic N/a midly modified engine..
Please let me know your feedback on Your Koyo?
I am also considering a nippon denso Oem replacement If I can find one that cheap.
