Re: radiator

just better, doesn nothing for performance enhancement. it will keep the engine cooler, which in turn can feel like extra power, but it doesnt produce any hp.

Re: radiator

unless you have major modifications that raise your engine temps higher, the stock radiator will work great at keeping temps down and low.

As was stated, a new radiator will help with cooling the car more efficiently, but it in iteslf won't add any more horsepower. Unless you are running a signifacntly bigger motor (like an H22 in a Civic) or there are other reasons why you need to increase the cooling efficiency of your motor (like racing, major power and modifactions, etc) there shouldn't be a need to install a thicker core radiator. Is there a reason you are looking into a thicker core radiator like Koyo?
