I am thinking of upgrading my oem radiator to those of 2-core aluminium radiator

as fas as u all concern, which one is the best: ARC-KOYO-TABATA-BLITZ-GREDDY etc etc

and for those who have already upgrade theirs, what brand did u opt for and what is its level of efficiency

and above all, its availibility in Malaysia

mind share ur experience

Using Koyo 3 layered aluminium radiator. Very good, water temp consistently on 74C during normal driving. Never been more than 95C on track. Will be over cooled if not for the thermostat :D Just the trouble having to fit it because it is thicker than original radiator, will tend to hit the fan while installing, can't help but damage a bit of its fins.

Should not be a problem to install it even by yourself. Simply cut a box and cover the radiator fin when install it

JAHAX:
ARC is Made in JAPAN, KOYO is Made in INDONESIA.Guess which is more better hand made welding?heee.Tips:Thicker doen`t means better

I believe in ARC hand made quality and fin design

I hope mine's ok... still alright I guess. Hopefully it's calsonic and not Pensonic!

Hahaha .... Oem Calsonics ...

Try find THE Calsonic Sports 2-core, with side end-tanks ... Don't know how efficient, but lansi enough lor ... But, the Greddy ones looks pretty sturdy too

Come to think of it, I think I got an ol-skool ARC ... made out of copper or something ... :rolleyes:

I would go for either of these when I'm gonna change my radiator next. ARC & Koyo!! I wonder if Toyo & Koyo are brothers.:hmmmm:

Time to replace the ori radiator fan to an aftermarket one. Go for either pull of push blades. Damn it, this sounds like Blackberry!

Normally, standard rad for the 34 is pretty good on mildly tuned gtr's ... So far, have not seen any issue. I think it could be clogged rad, bad thermostat, bad rad cover, or pump ... First thing to check is the rad pressure test for leaks
