Thread: Is a Koyo really necessary?

yes a few weeks ago i got my car dynoed/tuned and it made 300whp,295wtq @10psi, then got it redynoed/cleaned up the tune for 17psi, made 400whp, i am now outsourcing other ways to make power as my turbo is now almost maxxed

Don't want to thread jack, see your other thread.

230? You're playing with fire...

Question while we're on this subject...

There's really no easy way to make my SE-R radiator fit. I'm considering going with a thick half width civic type radiator from Koyo, so I don't have to worry about manifold clearance issues. The water neck doesn't like the placement of the wastegate.

Think those radiators will suffice? I know a lot of people run them, but this car will be a DD, not a track monster.

Get a dual core 2" thick or so half width and it will work fine. My only issue is you have to fab up brackets and run piping for the coolant which can be a pain in the ass. I am thinking about doing a custom radiator setup on the NX now also because of my sidewinder and the electric water pump not liking the amount of available space.

I'm not worried about the brackets, and I'm actually considering getting the really long braided style radiator hoses, since they're really flexible. Just want it running today

Thanks

got a NX2K raditor in my B14 DET setup. Never had a cooling problem. If you got the extra cash get the Koyo. But if cash is tight stick with the Nx2k

I have a KOYO radiator but its not the stainless steel one , its a two row OEM type.

They claim it flows beter than OEM but less than their High performance one.

prior to my radiator going bad i had the stock se-r radiator CALSONIC for 7 yrs
.

isnt that the V raditor? the perforance is the R, from what ive read those are still really good too and about 100 less than t performance one

thats correct , it actually runs quite well, i filled it with purifide water and a bottle of water wetter my Greddy radiator cap and good to go, fit lilke a glove.


I paid a good price for it new , PM me if you need more info. about $120
