Default What are some good radiators?

I know Fluidyne, C&R and PWR are pretty good aftermarket replacements or the good old OEM dual core radiator. I saw this one on ebay and it's pretty much exactly like a PWR radiator without the "PWR" name on it. It's only 149 for an all AL radiator. Sound too good to be true?

The PWR radiator, look pretty similiar to me...

C&R, y0! I remember paying $570 for this one.....two days later, Group Buy Center had it for like $375. But I was rich back then and didn't care.



Comes included with it's own SPAL Slim Fan. Only one fan that pulls/pushes more CFM than both stock fans together. 1000CFM total as opposed to 800something stock. Were damn loud, and some people thought it was a supercharger.

No doubt and the guy is going of to the mods and saying stupid ****. I've been here for awhile and still at 100%. How the hell do you look point being here for only a month and that his second SN. Newbs like that is why the mods are cracking down on rules so hard. Thats when people should kick up the "ban" word seeing how fast this guy is going downhill.

I got mine from advance auto parts. Its listed as the "OEM replacement" for a Civic DX, however its about 50% thicker and keeps my car much cooler than the stock one did before it blew

It's called proper english. Some people just were brought up poorly in disfunctional homes. That ebay radiator is actually pretty nice built pretty nice since my brother has one in his EJ1. I'd buy one before I'd put $300 down on a Fluidyne.

What the **** is your crazy *** ******* talking about? They don't pull **** like that here. Freedom of motherfucking speech (to a damn point).

Okay lets get this thread back on track...

I have looked around ebay, and have become very interested in this koyo radiator as an alternative to the oem dual core...



It is a perfect fit (or so they say) for the oem unit, and has an aluminum core (better than oem's copper) with plastic end-tankes (oem style). It is a singe core, but remains the same thickness as a dual core. The extra core room holds more fluid, and may lend to more internal surface area for better heat disipation. This company...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...33602

...is selling them for 26 bucks, + $30 shipping, on ebay, and they guarantee their shipping (if damaged they pay for return shipping). They also have an amazing 100% feedback with almost 1100 auctions. This radiator even has the transmission cooler ports for automatics that you could run an oil feed to for an additional oil cooler. Once I buy my motor swap, I'm going to give them a try...
