Would a KA Koyo work well with the CA? Does anyone here have this or any other aftermarket radiator? Keep in mind I live in Phoenix, and 110degree temps are common...

Koyo's are nice, pretty much anything is gonna be better than stock, since the stock may LOOK big, but it's thin as hell,

Hey, what's the placement of the water inlet / outlet piping on the CA18DET's radiator? Is it the same as the KA, SR or is it completely different? I'm looking into a custom mount when I get my Koyo down the road, and I'd like an idea of how the hoses will be running. I think i'm going to grab myself some CoolFlex powdercoated copper hose.

the KA and CA are on the same sides, the SR is on the opposite side of the KA/CA. So if you want a bigger radiator for your KA/CA, get a KA radiator, if you want a bigger one for your SR, you'll have to get an SR or run a hose across the front of the motor.

if anyone wanted some upgraded coolant parts, i got Raretrick.com to sign a deal with SAMCO Sport. I ordered a set of SAMCO Sport silicone hoses for my CA. Takes a few weeks to get em but they will be well worth it.
