I am considering adding the Koyo Radiator and was looking for feed back.

 

It's good?

Perhaps you should ask a better question to get better answers...

 

technically there is no question.

 

koyos are good. but do you really need the upgraded performance? i could see if you track your car or have that nice SC in your sig.

 

if he has SC without upgraded Rad, I would have to say go search NOOB

theres actually no question.

 

searching

 

Pettit recommended a radiator upgrade to compliment their SC in one of their threads.

edit: should have quoted Nrider in my response

 

I'm thinking that he knows this and he wants to know if anyone has the Koyo one ao that they can give him feedback on whether that specific radiator is a good choice.

 

I am getting a Koyo put on in a week along with my turbo kit. Will post back with reviews. Its posed to be the best with PWR close behind.

 

I have Koyo, I installed it myself.

Pretty happy with it.

 

thanks just making sure it is a good choice

 

take it for what its worth, but ive seen a lot of people upgrade to koyos on 7club

 

this probably doesnt relate, but i had a koyo in my 240, helped the sr20 overheating issues ALOT,

 

what exactly are you doing that justifies making this change?

 

well I drive quite a bit during the day. Also I am toying with I don't know if it's even possible to dual charge add a turbo plus the S/C I currently have.

 

I just ordered it.

 

I'm sure you will not be dissapointed...

 

what?

The Koyo is a great investment! I purchased it due to the hot AZ temps during the summer and so far have seen at least a 20 degree difference over the stock radiator. While others with a similar performance setup run average temps of 210 degrees, I often operate between 180 and 200...even lower with the fan mod.

Money well spent.

 

i agree with swoope.... uhhh whaaaa?

 

I think he meant twincharger, I've seen it done on a 4AGZE (AW11/MR2 engine) on an AE86 which later on bacame a 20 valve - 4AGZE (link) (20V-4AGZE link). And back when I had my FC, I think alienauto in WA started a twincharged 13B project for their shop but i'm not quite sure if they finished it at all.

 

yea i mean i have heard of it beign done and in fact that is the first time i have actually seen but i mean how feasable is it really... to me its like throwing money out the window... if you wanted more power you probably should have went with the turbo or i would have done a 3 rotor install.... now that would be impressive... especially with what scott in mazsports doing omg

 

it's gonna sound really weird (referring to dual charge).

 

maybe he wants to be the first guy with a twincharged renesis? I don't see anything wrong with that, granted that he knows what he's getting himself into and provided that he has the time, ability. source and pockets deep enough to support this project.
it might sound weird or not logical right now but you'll never know until you try. who knows what might just come out of his experiment/project. could be something great, well if it's bad then at least we get the heads up to avoid it or better yet somebody might have a better idea and improve what he has started...

sorry, back to the topic... yeah, I used to have aKoyo radiator on my FC and AE86 and using infrared thermometer, I compared the before and after temps coming from the radiator. I got at least 10deg F difference with the Koyo and the stock FC radiator and same for the AE86.

 

Has anybody installed it in an 8 I'd like to know how long it takes.
