Will this
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/KOYO-...spagenameZWD1V
work as good as stocK? I thought this was the racing koyo that the vendors offer here, but someone mentioned it direct stock replacement, Im wondering if this will perform as good as stock???
better or worse, please dont just guess , Im looking for comments from people who know about these.

Dead link.
I don't know about "that/eBay" KOYO, but I have a Koyo radiator. Water temp is noticably lower even in normal driving conditions. When the car starts moving, the temp will drop very quickly.
I haven't tested it on track though so I don't know the true effectiveness of the radiator.

link fixed, The koyo radiator you bought was it oem replacement or peformance one, I believe the racing one is a little bit thicker, the one im getting is the same exact size as stock.
what is the stock radiator made out of? if its aluminum then a replacement koyo of the same size probably won't make any difference. if the stock one is copper then yea it will run a lot cooler

Mine is NOT that. Mine is all aluminum including the end tanks (or whatever you call the top/bottom parts, sorry).
And most definitely THICKER than stock.
Sorry can't help you there.
In asking how a radiator "performs", don't expect it to provide any additional horsepower increase.
If you're asking how well it keeps things cool, then yes, it will do that better than the OEM radiator, but you should also seriously consider a different coolant mixture in addition to the radiator upgrade.
We manufacture our own radiator, which in and of itself, is a larger capacity than the OEM, however, by itself with the same coolant mixture as stock, it would provide very little to no noticeable decrease in coolant temps. If a different mixture is used, one closer to 50/50 water/coolant, you would notice as much as a 10 to 15 degree (C) change in temps.
Yes, you will need to base your coolant mixture on the climate that you live in, and how often or hard your car is driven, but this is an important factor that aids in coolant temp.
