I was recently in an accident and looking for parts to fix my ride back up. I was on ebay and found Koyo radiators. Does anyone know if this brand is any good? I'd appreciate any input. Here's the ebay link
Ebay item Koyo Radiators for US Lancer 02-03

 

Always hear good things about it in 'Modified' or 'Super Street'.

 

that sounds good... anyone else out there that know or have good experience with this brand?

 

My boy has a koyo in his impreza, he loves it. I personally have no experience with them.

 

If you want a radiator, it seems like you either get a Fluidyne or Koyo. As far as I can tell, most people's decision between the 2 is based on if they want the JDM-ness of the Koyo. Fluidyne is a little more expensive if I remmeber correctly.

 

That Koyo is just a stock replacement so you wont see much performance gain with it. The ones geared toward performance are excellent.

 

yes that one is just a oem replacement... if it is 100% aluminum (besides the plastic top) then you could expect a lil bit better cooling then as im pretty sure stock is some kind of mixture. But with only one row its not gonna be that much better.

 

thanks for the input guys... every day that goes by that i can't help my car out kills me... it feels like one of my kids... i'm seriously hurting each day i see it siting in the garage. hopefully it will see the road again soon!

 

if your looking for a performance radiator, the evo aftermarket ones supposedly fit, although the hoses are in different locations. but that way at least you are spending money on something that will/should cool better

 

but you get the xtra cost with that... imo you dont need that extra cooling, its more of a show mod to tget that nice shinny top

 

yeah, that might be true for basic n/a cars, but i reckon if you got a serious FI engine, you could use the extra cooling, and the shiny cover is just icing on the cake
