FI People! What Radiator do you guys use?

I been searching for weeks and i havent found my answer, i have a brand new Koyo and i know it doesnt fit, and it seems like the most annoying one to make it fit, what other radiators do you guys use? Or what do you prefer or have any advice on doing this, my Procharger going on soon and i need to know asap, let me know guys, thanks!

I think the only G specific radiators I've seen are the ARC and a PWR. Upper and lower mounts are drop in fits. The PWR is a thick core and has an 5AT fluid cooler at the bottom.

I have the thin koyo, pwr is direct fit? Im looking for something that is direct fit. Anyone ever heard of Silla Premium Replacement Radiators, i know they aint much but i read its a bit thicker than the stock one. Again, im not a track guy, ill be on the streets more going light to light

The PWR has the correct upper mounts, the problem for you may be your Procharger piping.

Here is Vinh's install on his APS ST G https://g35driver.com/forums/reviews/136201-pwr-high-capacity-radiator-install-review.html

I think you're better off with a Koyo and having the shop make the upper mounts work. If you end up getting one without a trans fluid compartment count on getting an external trans fluid cooler.

I've got the thick Koyo.. if your getting a whole FI application installed/tuned at a place they probably will charge you under a $100 bucks to make it fit once the whole bill is done

Since I have JWT, any idea if the PWR will fit with my pipe going right in front of the radiator? I'm looking to go ahead and upgrade mine soon.

I have a bit more space in front of the motor than you guys do.


Looking at Dereks engine bay, he has the same GTM fan shroud that I do.



It would be very very close. The GTM fan shroud I think is slimmer than the stock fan assembly. Maybe check with a PWR dealer to see if they make a 3x core with the auto compartment vs the 5x core.

Here's another angle of Derek's engine bay. Not sure which rad he's running, Looks like it might be an ARC.

How does the PWR compare to other ones? I just started going to the track, and I need to know it will keep me cool at the track.

I'm not sure how the PWR ranks with the Koyos. drisifu1 has the PWR and recently went to the track. GTM is a PWR dealer so they could get you pricing if you wanted to compare costs.

Jeremy and Sharif are koyo dealers. Forged lsts the Koyo slim at 399 including shipping. http://www.forgedperformance.com/sto...cat=316&page=1

Who said Fat is bad. I have the big Koyo...and it fits perfectly with the big Fans and Shroud. Call Sharif at FP and he will help you with it.
