Koyo Aluminum Radiators

We have a bunch of these awesome radiators ready to go.These radiators are made totally of aluminum for awesome heat dissipation, and feature 3 row construction for increased coolant capacity.

Te Koyo units are drop in solutions, and accept the stock fan assemblies.

Priced at $474 shipped anywhere in the 48 states.

Orders can be placed on our site here:

Thanks!

I just got in a fender bender and the OE costs $800. Insurance will cover, so I'm looking at some aftermarket options.

My question is, are aftermarket radiators necessary, and are they just as reliable as the stock ones? And, I assume they should "cool" better?

Hm, I'm going to keep on eye on this... deciding between this and the PWR radiator. Do you have any pics?

nm, just found pics on the website... looks nice. Might pick up the GReddy as a replacement for my busted IC too... think you can cut me a deal? Might have to wait a week or two until insurance figures it all out though.

EDIT: I have heard conflicting reports of the Greddy being 100% bolt on vs. having to trim the bumper. Were there 2 versions made?

Yes its about 4lbs more, there is a little bit of fitment issue! but nothing u can't fix urself! Everything is very tight, since the radiator is a bit more bigger! heres a picture

stock fan will fit. We actually installed one and did not run into any issue, though I suspect it can vary unit to unit, since the brackets, etc are all welded by hand.

It does weigh slightly more than the stock one, though the added coolant capacity, and getting rid of the junky stock plastic endtanks makes it very worthwhile IMHO

Adam,

Do you guys have any aftermarket oil coolers? Mine needs replacing as well.. that ARC one is a little too steep for my taste (as are most ARC products!)
