I don't know what kind of english you are learning in Boston, but it sure in the hell isn't correct . You say one thing and mean the other.

Ok honey, let me explain this to you.

Let's look at our sentence here: "Koyo, ARC isn't worth the cash"

isn't = SINGULAR
aren't = PLURAL

If I said "Koyo, ARC aren't worth the cash" you would be absolutely correct. HOWEVER, I said "Koyo, ARC isn't worth the cash." This is SINGULAR here which would imply I am talking about ARC and NOT Koyo.

BETTER?

Back to the discussion.

I suppose it should've been a semi-colon or period instead of a comma, but I thought it was pretty obvious from the singular/plural distinction you mentioned

(i know nothing about radiators)

ARC. There is no substitute. Only comparable to that in my opinion is the Blitz radiator. YOu get what you pay for.

ok... i don't know how many of you have seen the arc radiator. but i have... and this is what i have to say. tha arc radiator is stock sized... prolly full aluminum... lawrence at aspec (who's car it was on) said pay attention to the finning. it's true... the finning is pretty fantastic on this piece, just like the intercooler, the external finning (cuz i couldn't see the internal) is VERY VERY dense, it's bascially louvred high density fins if you've seen the nisei intercooler commercial.

now... with all that said... it doesn't hold any more water (at least not significantly more than stock like the pwr and the koyo, so the only thing it has going for it is that it cools the fluids better, of course this is a good thing but seriously now... are you gonna pay that much more? we need water temp tests... i'll concede (just like those done in the nisei intercooler tests) but no one has done it or wants to do it, i don't think.

pwr makes a radiator bigger than the koyo... you'd have to talk to them directly about it tho, basically rhys millen had them make him some number of huge radiators for his rally evo vii that is known to overheat, those radiators are HUGE, robi has one on his car if you want to reference).

i believe arc made their radiator for those people that need to keep clearances for nice manis... i believe the regular pwr is for those purposes too. i believe there are some nuts that wanna run a radiator so big that it could hold water for a draught. and that's ok too :]

57mm core and modified from the origonal RMR spec so it will fit with the A/C in your car.
(needs some shaving of the front heat shield over the waste gate actuator and a slimline fan.

Yes it is thicker than the stock one. I can measure it for you if needed.
