Okay, dropped the lex at RTC in Lexington Ky for some treatment. Basically a 1 over of my work and tune. Put a new boost controller in there too. OEM radiator just blew out on the dyno. Guy has a KOYO radiator in house. I told him to use it. Never heard of it before. Anyone know anything about these?

 

david is running one and seems to be working very well ill be picking one up in the near future also

 

I will also be in the market for a Koyo in a month or 2...

Koyo's are comparable to the fluidynes and pwr's. They are up there in quality so nothing to worry about. Plus its polished so it will look nice

 

I have a Koyo and it works just fine. The only bad thing is that those aftermarket radiator caps don't fit on them.

 

I have the Koyo...Nice radiator. The Greddy cap will fit.

Koyo's are better than fluidyne.

 

do you have proof of this?

 

can someone post pics of it installed

 

On an SC400, would the 93-97 (99) Supra TT radiator work or is another app. needed?

And in case you didn't know, there is a group by for these somewhere also.


I was thinking of getting one since my radiator is leaking and i have to replace it and.................................. i do have dreams and aspirations to actually put my HKS 3037's on the 1UZ someday........ Will it fit?


Thanks.

Dan

 

Hey Dude, if that group is not a CL approved vendor, you may want to remove that link...GB's on CL are only supposed to be from CL approved vendors.

Have heard different things about them. Friend of mine in the industry didn't like them from personal experience so I went with a C&R Radiator for my other car. But they are japanese made so it should be ok.

 

Just fyi - decided to go with a KOYO unit, one that was in shop with about 50 miles on it....

Dan called back and said it will not bolt right in. This is the unit for the 2jz gte... jza80 chasis...

they need to fab some brackets... add $$... or try and score a jzz3(x) unit...

supra unit with brackets should be fine...

Thanks for the input.

 

Nope it doesn't.... Unless you want to come over and make it fit for me, I will be more than glad.

 

Besides the look of the radiator cap does it do anything? I think I saw on ebay once someone selling a radiator cap for a 90-93 Celica that would increase HP. Of course he said something like 5HP which I don' tbelieve but does it add to performance at all?

 

I love Koyo's, had one in my old 7.

The only real difference i noticed between the two was that Koyos were japanese and Fluidynes were american. So it just comes down to whether or not you're about supporting the american economy.
