alumnium disapates heat at a much higher rate than copper the copper radiator is nothing more than a o.e. replacement if you are looking for an upgrade like most then the coper is not your choice you need to go with an alumnium one.

i can get u a nice 55mm aluminum one shipped ot yer door for $355 ;)

my thought on upgrading is why buy something that youre going to replace later with something better??? (i made this mistake a few times on older parts ive had...they have all been replaced with what i SHOULD HAVE bought)

What radiator cap do you use? Will the one one the stock 240work with the koyo radiator? The hose to the overflow tank seems to be on the other side...do I need to buy something else to make it work? I'm also running dual electric fans, will I need something else to mount these to my koyo radiator? I have an S14 btw.

Thanks for that info. Do you have any problems with using the zip ties? Any thing you would do differently? I'm thinking of doing the same thing on my s14.

Either way it's up to him, ask anyone that has ever ordered anything from SPL Parts, from what I've heard from our customers our reputation preceeds us.
