So i just got this stuff in as it just became available.
It’s a 2" thick aluminum radiator for SR20DET, it’s not a Koyo, it’s an imported rad, and it’s supposed to be for an S14, but if i recall the only difference is the thickness between S13 and S14… Tons of people upgrade to S14 rads because it’s a bit thicker.
So, even though we havent gone so far as to try it (we will), this may be an awesomely inexpensive alternative to a $400+ Koyo.
I only brought one up, but i was told today that there are very very few available right now, so i may wish to order a bunch more depending on people’s interest.
I also brought one up for a Civic, a half-rad for pretty much any civic though it is said to be for an EK.
And then we have some sexy intercoolers… smaller cores… 27 x 8 x 2.5
These are actually an ideal size for civic, DSM etc. as well as milder 240sx builds for guys customising their piping.
yeah that may be the case, there has to be some difference. But mounting your radiator is easy, it’s the hoses that get to be a pain in the ass if you have to customize them.
That and the fact that i know most people are hesitant to spend $400 + on a koyo on top of radiator hoses… But you have to have something more than a stock radiator on a boosted motor.
yea I can 2nd that since I’ve got an S14 rad in my S13… other then the brackets thou, its all good
Oh… and the outlet on the S14 rad for the overflow can etc is pointing in the opposite direction so you either gotta move the can or loop the hose around (not really a big deal/issue thou)
update… these rads will NOT work on an S13… they bolt up perfectly, but the top tank is too tall for an S13 with a factory hood.
The rad pictured is being used on Andrew Comrie-Picard’s S13 that he picked up from the TV show we did a couple years ago. His hood was vented so it worked out okay.
