Koyo vs. Fluidyne?

kewlcoconut · 11-14-2005, 07:11 AM

I am stuck with a major decision here. I have been reading A LOT about these 2 radiators. But every forum I go to, it's always "Koyo is better because....." or "Fluidyne is better because...." The Koyo radiators are a lot cheaper than the Fluidyne ones, but does it perform the same? I need the various voices on this forum to help me out. I need an opinion of someone who has a supra. And if you don't recommend these radiators, what other ones will work beautifully?

I have a koyo, it hasn't given me any trouble, car stays a lot cooler.

after buying a new koyo seeing the poor quality and seeing my buddies fluidyne would have never bought the koyo.When i m dune putting all my new stuff in that i bought this month maybe next spring one will go in a new high flow aluminium fluidyne they seem way superior to the koyos

hmmmm....for you guys that have the fluidynes, do they work really good for your supras? i think i might be leaning towards the fluidyne. i would pay more for it if it's gonna be better qaulity.

All you need Homie http://store.summitracing.com/defaul...earchType=Make props to Mr. Nickleye for turning me on to this site. The difference between the three fans is color of the backing board they are mounted in. Red, blue or Black(the cheapy). Good luck.
