I am doing a ka24de turbo and I am planning to run 14 psi. What is the best radiator you could ever get? I saw that mishumoto and megan racing sell 3 row radiators for sr20det but I haven't seen any 3 row radiators for a ka engine. I would really like to get a 3 row radiator for a 240sx but I haven't found any. any help would be appreciated. Thanks =D

i would say probably a koyo, mishimito, or isis. ive heard some good things about isis. but not sure about the megan racing ones though.

I was looking at this mishimoto radiator. is one of the thickest I ever found and it has 3 ROWS! however I can't use it on my ka24de engine because the radiator hose is on the other side since it is for an sr20det. I am planning to run electric fans too. so what if I make it fit to my car? like running a custom line from the upper left radiator exit to my ka exit since the radiator sits right in the chassis

I see reason I made this post is because I heard that the bigger the radiator the better the engine will be cooler.

He said "best," not "cheapest and most questionable."

I have an ISIS and haven't had one problem out of it. I also have Mishimoto electric fans - kick a** btw. Fitment was great too. Can't comment on anything else, never used anything else other than stock.

I'm cheap and went ahead and got a cx racing( yep EBAY!) rad.
had it for two years, no problems. def wanted a Mishimoto. but this works, no problems with fitting either.
