Default Radiator?

Thinking about getting an aftermarket radiator because I living in TX and driving how I do makes your engine a little hot. Thinking about KOYO. Do you guys have any prefrences or horror stories?
-Thanks

im runnin a full radiator upgrade, meaning fluidyne aluminum radiator, spoon, thermostat, spoon cap, spoon fan switch, fal fan, and upgraded hoses. its a bit overkill but keeps the engine very kewl, round 150-170 degrees most of the time.

koyo is a very good radiator, i heard good stuff bout em. u can save money and get a stock del sol dual core radiator as well. upgrade the cap if ur at it and flush and refill the system and you should be good.

aren't all engine bays the same thing? They all have an engine, transmission, some fluids, and usually a battery, right? I test fit my friends del sol radiator to mine and they have completely different mounting spots. It could work with a little modification, but I don't feel like doing that right now. Probably go with koyo and new hoses.

The radiators are totally different. If you worried about cooling just buy a set of spal slim-line cooling fans. They are half the depth of the stock fans and cool way better.

I suggest a delsol dualcore if it'll fit.

don't go Koyo if you plan on going FI later on , that was my mistake :/
