HOwdy, I am looking for some more radiator options than your standard Koyo and Fluidyne for the S13 SR. Preferrably cheaper as well. What I need is something that will allow me to run tracking days without any worries. I have read before about some people running different larger OEM units with some sucess so I am just trying to see what you all have for me.

thanks

you're going to be pretty hard pressed to find something cheaper than the Koyo. I bought mine for 290 shipped. Some of the other makes are

GreddyGP SportsIngsApexiNismoARC

ARC from what I've heard are some of the best you can buy, but the ARC radiators for the s13's that are bada$$ are over 1k a pop. Nismo radiators are floating around 800-1k, ditto with the apexi and Ings. The GP have copper ones which are about the same price as the Koyo, then they've the aluminum 2 and 3 cores which are about the same as the others. Greddy from what I've seen is the cheapest of that line up I've tossed out at around 450-500.

If it makes you feel any better, from what I've read in an interview with Koguchi, he likes the Greddy as it's good bang for the buck but prefers the ARC.

You can try the 260Z radiator. You can get it for around $180 new and its a 3 row. Sorta ugly though. I don't believe it's aluminum either.
