koyo radiator

[vr4choke]

i found this radiator(http://www.pricematchedparts.com/ind...=1781&parent=5) on PMP at a good price. now i'm wondering, would this increase performance over the stock radiator enough to spend the money?

[AutostradaVR4]

unless you're upping power, running hot, of yours is broke in some way, i'd say the money's better spend elsewhere...like on motor mounts, clutch, new leather,boost controller, BOV, etc.

[vr4choke]

what kinda of BOVs do you guys use? ive been looking at the HKS sqv one for a while

[R32GTRLegend]

hks sqv is a good choice, theres also greddy type rs, blitz bovs, turbonetics bovs, just to name a few

[vr4choke]

well i actually have been running a little hot lately. i did the free boost mod and since then its been a little hotter than usual. also the car is pretty old and before i purchased it last march the previous owner had it sitting for somewhere around 5 years. i'm thinking the radiator is just old and needs to be replaced

well 3sx.com has a radiator just like the koyo but its on sale right now for 200 bucks

The HKS and TurboXS sound good, as does the RFL model.

I absolutely hate the Greddy BOV sound though.

Greddy is the best sounding BOV period.

And if you want a good deal on a radiator man check out the koyo knock offs PMP has There 200 bucks also but if you want it let me know I will give you a little better of a deal.

Jason do those fit all model 3s or is the SOHC different?

I dont think it is but I want to make sure.

I think I paid $200 for my replacement rad 4 or 5 years ago.

I do have a leak and if I find its coming from the rad I will probably look into that.

[jason_bet]

The SOHC is the same as long as it isn't an Auto. Let me know what you find when you check for the leak.

I've had the leak for a long while.

I need to pressure test my cooling system.
