Default Koyo or Fluidyne which is better

I have a del sol s with a b18c1 and a jackson racing supercharger(currently running 6lbs of boost) and I am looking into a performance radiator for the AZ heat. Would I be better off with the Koyo or the Fluidyne?

Honestly everyone that reccomended radiators so far has been excellent choices. If you want to chose between the Koyo or the Fluidyne,let the price decide that one for ya.

I have a GSR Fluidyne on my 5th gen hatch with a JDM ITR in it...I love that radiator!!! I can beat on the car all day at the track, and my heat never rises, and the fan rarely comes on.

Also the quality of the build is superb...


Fluidyne

Koyo, Fluidyne, PWR, C&R, Griffen... they're all great radiators. Just get whichever radiator you can get the best price on. I've heard nothing but good things from people using these radiators.

I have a Fluidyne in my CRX and love it

Fluidine is a piece of junk. if on race car don't even waste your time. i've seen so many that balloon or expand like a bow and the best thing is that they won't warranty it.Koyo is good and C&R is probably the best and the others i haven't tried, so i cannot judge.

c&r or fluidyne is better then koyo IMO, only becuase of the diameter of the inlet and outlets of the rad are much larger.

Fluidine is for Import Showoff/Fast and the Furious cars. Koyo is for your JDM type taht like to race and C&R is just straight racer/gansta.
