I have been running the Koyo radiator on my tib for a couple of years now, but it has developed holes and cracks and is worth more to the scrapman then it would be to repair it.

Looking at a replacement and I am unsure on whether to go for:

or

Would the thickness matter all that much? My thinking is just that with it being thinner the water will cool down more.

Anybody care to shed any light? I can see the Evo rad being an arse to fit but will the S2000 rad hold enough?

Could also try a honda half core.

Why are you running an aftermarket radiator in the first place?

Changed to the Koyo when i turbo'd it to aid cooling.

Im favouring more towards the S2000 one at the minute, wide enough to get enough airflow through it and thin enough to fit 2 fans to it.

Were you having cooling problems? Hardly anyone else with a turbo needed to switch. I don't and I see 100 degree days regularly.

Chap the Evo radiator is approximately 2in thick. It didn't look like it would work at first, but I took measuring tape and did it. I had to cut and trim my FAL fans though, but hoorah.

I see it might be a prob with the turbo. Hyundai makes all aluminum radiators (without plastic). Thickness won't make a difference with all the heat a turbo i4 make. I tried the Evo, thought it wouldn't work but I kept it for a few years until I decided "I'm going to make the possible happen" haha.

Best of luck to you.
