Help with choosing a new radiator
hey guys so it seems my oem radiator is rusting out, so im in the market for a new one! Anyone out there have aftermarket radiators for their stock motors? if so any suggestions/ feedback? please list the brand/price... thanks

Fluidyne IMO, is one of the best Radiators on the market but it's also quite expensive too. There's then Koyo, Griffin, Mishimoto, and the E-bay China ones.. It all depends on how much you want to spend..

^^ Here's a link for one for sale here: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sc4...-radiator.html
Koyo makes a nice radiator too. I installed the Koyo R1856 on a '92 sc300 (w/ manual tranny) and was quite happy with it. It increases cooling capacity by quite a bit and worked out flawlessly. The lower radiator mounts worked fine, but the uppers needed some minor modding to fit. I was even able to fit the stock fan shroud back on with a couple little homemade brackets to mount them and little cutting and belt sanding of the plastic. The stock hoses fit with a little shortening too. I think it ran about $375 shipped from an ebay vendor.

thanks for the feedback guys... i priced out some koyo's and mishimoto's online and they are pretty pricey ~450 shipped to hawaii! i also found a couple shops locally selling oem spec replacements w/ aluminum core for ~160.00 as of now im leaning toward these and throw on my electric fans... although it would be nice to have full aluminum.

then I selected the cheapest one of the three with pics (the middle one for $320)
then I selected seller's shipping tab and entered a Honolulu zip
now I'll probably get in trouble for posting an outside link
