The Fluidyne is slimmer then stock? hmmmm, I don't think so?
Personally, I don't see why anyone should waste money on a 'high performance' radiator. Unless you are turbo charging (or any type of forced induction), which can cause higher temperature to the motor, then OK. With normal mods (even mild boost of any kind), I think the radiator is an over-kill. BUT, of course it doesn't hurt to have it.
The reason why I would want one, is because it looks good. My EG does not put out enough heat for me to spend the regular $300+.

I said the combo is slimmer than stock.
Yes I will be turbocharging, so I will need it to cool better.
I did get it for somewhat of a bling bling factor, it looks a lot nicer than stock..
The reason I have 96 GSR wheels on is because I sold my SI wheels to buy Rota C8s, but with how far i have my car lowered and the offset I got they rubbed.. So I sold those to a member on this board, then my friend hooked me up with the GSRs until I got new rims.

My friend spent 400 bucs on his fluidyne.. and i spent 115 on my brand new duel core.. guess what.. he wishes he had gone the same route as me.. yes his car will NEVER overheat.. but then again.. neither will mine.

Is it that much better than a dual core? I will be boosting soon and dont want to boost on a single core CX radiator.

i think fluidyne is a waste of money.
People who usually say this dont have the money to begin with.

Its just the basic concept of wheater you really need it or not.
Like if you're not going to turbo or super charging your car don't worry about that expensive radiator. BECAUSE, you can take a dohc motor mod the heck out of it, and put it in a civic with a teeny tiny civic radiator and guess what, you'll get the same results.
So like i said, unless i have a car which makes more power which the stock radiator can't handle, i would never invest my money in fluidyne

Is it the name or the cost that deters you?
I'm sure you have heard of a pharse "If it ain't broke don't fix it."
