Let's Talk Radiators
I've been toying with buying a Koyo radiator but scrolling through the gallery I see people are running several different brands.
I would like to start a thread here to help people trying to decide so please post:
Brand
Fit
Retains OEM Fans/Mountpoints/Entry/Exit

I have a Koyo radiator. Everything stock but the radiator cap is maintained. It fits great and looks great. My only cooling problems came when it wasn't properly bled.

i got a koyo too. its good quality for a good price. i'm running a comptech sc so there were some clearing issues but i just ran a slim fan on the passanger side and it was fine.
also like tim said the stock rad cap doesnt fit. so i think i took mines off a Evo

The Koyo sits out about 3" roughly 3 times more than OEM. You still retain the foam between the rad. and radiator support frame. The foam isn't a spacer, it's to keep the two from touching and chipping away.
For the vortech, the water lines would be tight but can fit or can be re-routed to fit.

I had to cut my factory shroud a bit but would prefera slim fan just to be safe.
