yes you can use your stock radiator..i dont know if you are refering to the ka radiator or sr but if you are not going to upgrade i would use the ka because its bigger

[240Knightrider]

cool, thanks! yeah im talking about the KA radiator

[ho1ywars]

im running the stock rad and stock AC fan, no mechanical fan and im having no problems what so ever. Everything is chill. Dont forget a cat, or straight pipe.

and tag another five houdnred on top of it all for miscalianous crap.

oh and dont get a narrow band air fuel gauge.. garbage.. car will run find on stock boost.

I would imagine the KA radiator would be fine unless you plan on running the track. My dad just put in a new OEM replacement in my 240 before i bought it off him, and i just cant justify swapping it out yet when i do my motor swap. Add the fans and I dont see why it wouldnt work fine

Initial Setup Engine $2,500.00

Air/Fuel Gauge $89.95 Worthless dont need it they dont help Unless its a wideband and you know how to tune

Oil Temp Gauge $89.95 Boost gauge $89.95 Oil Pressure gauge $89.95 gauge Pod $35.00 Clutch $369.99 Gasket Kit $300.00 Head Gasket $200.00 Radiator $300.00 Electric Fans $150.00 Turbo Timer $100.00 Total $4,314.79 Upgrades FMIC $445.00 Ebay Kits work well to and half the price LSD $500.00 Which LSD? Factory? Factory units are cheaper, after market is much more exspensive

550 Injectors $500.00 Over Priced. I have 555cc injectors Ill sell you for cheaper if you want them.

Greddy Greddy E-manage $578.00 Wrong Stand alone to use if you want easy use get a Power FC its all plug and play.

Blow Off Valve $200.00 Over priced should only run you around 100-150

hey everyone i used the copper koyo beofre i got the aluminum( im yanking my engine soo dont know the difference yet) but my car would overheat after driving it hard in the summer(nj , acutally get prettys hott) i also have electric fans, sooo i hope this helps some

so the copper one I should stay away from??

[Blown240sx]

Copper is better but not necessary. The copper will tarnish over time also. Which is Coppers form of rust.Get a nice aluminum koyo and make sure to get good fans and a Nismo Thermostat. Also the main reason people over heat is because of what was said above about hard driving in the summer and probably mixed with the fact his FMIC blocks most of the air coming over the radiator plus bad fans or some thing else.

Ive got a Koyo and have had an issue yet.
