E-bay Koyo Rads

I think I will be picking one up

 

[jon v]

Actually I just paid for it...

So I will take some pics and show you guys when ever it gets here : )

 

[dre2004]

is this what you're going wit in your ek? i was gonna buy one last week.

 

[jon v]

Yup EK, Koyo OEM RSX radiator replacement...

I hope it is a decent piece, quality wise.

You saw these same rad's on e-bay last week?

 

[nikos]

not a KOYO... koyo style, made in china. It should work for sure but it is not full aluminum.. no way

 

[jon v]

Yah, i am sure it is not going to be the ultimate radiator. but the guy did tell me it is a Koyo radiator...

I will be happy if it is as good quality as an OEM honda rad

hopefully shipping doesn't take to long and if it is a nice piece it definetly is not a bad price

 

[dre2004]

yeah but the price is why i didnt buy. dunno if the quality is good? but if use rsx radiator you shouldnt have to use fan right?

 

[jon v]

We'll see how it works out...

hopefully I will have it within a week. i am wondering if it is plastic like the OEM one or if it is a full aluminum rad?

Did the seller say if it had the fan sensor hole? I was going to buy one a couple of weeks ago and some of the koyo replacement radiators didnt have the sensor hole.

Not to sure what sensor you are talking about...

Coolant temp sensor?

It should but I am not sure I didn't ask...

 

[MattSett]

yea the coolant temp sensor.
please let me know if it has it when you recieve the radiator. I'll probaly get one.
Thanks..

 

[jon v]

No problem...

Why would you not have to use a fan?

I am running an OEM spec KOYO in my car. I don't know how that guy is selling them for so cheap if it is in fact the same piece i have. I got mine at cost and it was a bit more than that. Retail price on them is retarded...

If you get the same one it should have the coolant temp sensor port. Mine does.

 

[TeamPacman]

The one that you got is a Koyo and it is a steel version... :down:


And that is not what you want..Trust me...


The quality :down:

Care to enlighten me a little? i already paid for it so it doesn't really matter but could you explain the difference a little?

 

[jon v]

anybody know the difference?

 

[jon v]

so nobody knows what the differences between aluminum and steel radiators are?

 

[dre2004]

my opinion is that the aluminum radiators are gonna be lighter and able to dissapate heat better than the steel allowing for cooler temps and better effiency. also the aluminum would be less corrosion prone. with that said, the aluminum would be better but not saging the steel would not work.

 

[tc_ross]

Seriously who makes a steel radiator now? Like 99% of the cores are all aluminum.
