Performance Radiator?
Are there any performance radiators for the ES,LS, and OZ? Does koyo or anyone else make them. Would an evo radiator work for any base model with 5 speed?

I believe a few have used an Evo aftermarket radiator, but I can't remember if it was bolt-on or had to be modded fit right.

if you're looking for some kind of gain you'd probably be better off swapping thermostats instead of radiators.

Or run with no thermostat at all.

I was just wondering, when I bought my eclipse, the first thing what went wrong was the radiator, so it was cheaper to by a fluidyne one. I always wondered then if evo ones would work in regular lancers.

You don't need a performance radiator, I have yet to hear of someone (NA or turboed) having cooling problems.

if i remember correctly, the evo radiators do fit with no modification. koyo also makes a radiator equal to stock for the lancer. it is shiny by the way...

Wasn't there debate whether the upper hose fit (I think it was the upper one)?
