How does a radiator supposed to look pretty? :lol:

White05EXSE 08-02-2005 03:31 PM

how much difference is there in the performance of that vs. the stock radiator?

ImPulse 08-02-2005 05:03 PM

+1/3 Hp :d

dirtySAMURAI 08-02-2005 05:12 PM

haha i just noticed that your thread title is "new shinny toy"

anyhoot...looking good with the k24/20 frank. i wish i had enough money for that. or rims... :shrug:

KnocturnalEM2 08-02-2005 05:20 PM

Nice...a good add on for Frank!! Is this a must for the swap??

goodtimes 08-02-2005 06:26 PM

looks good man wish i money for the frank swap maybe one day.

HondaLuver 08-02-2005 07:22 PM

i dont' about hp wise, but it keeps the engine coooler... i dont' know if it was a requirement for the k24, because the oem si radiator did its job, but that sprung a leak, so i was forced to get this one... because ever one wanted another radiator for like400.. i got this orginial one for 150... but it was beat up...i got this koyo for 300, and honda wanted like 3 for just the radiator... so aftermarket was cheaper. i need a fan now... its goign to sound like a leaf blower when it turns on...lol

Black03civic 08-02-2005 07:45 PM

very nice

White05EXSE 08-02-2005 07:51 PM

....so we're looking at 1-3 hp on a d17 w/ a koyo radiator? If so, isn't that a better dollars to hp ratio than a CAI?

I think he ment 1/3 (one-third) horsepower. :lol:

Wolfgang5884 08-02-2005 08:08 PM

Neato

White05EXSE 08-02-2005 08:11 PM

....ok, i didn't think a radiator would technically increase hp... that's why i was surprised. I assume it just makes the engine run cooler, so there may be some performance difference...

HondaLuver 08-03-2005 08:20 AM

there might. we will see, im goign to get my car redyno tunned... but its mostly for engines that have higher hp #'s than mine

mkingk2 08-03-2005 09:15 AM

flex-a-lite fans all the way

gratz on radiator.

Koyo Radiator increases potential for more horsepower but really doesn't give you any. Will take longer for your engine to warm up though so take not of that.

thanx, before, my car warmed up pretty fast, now that i got this radiator, it does warm up a tiny bit slower, but nothing that i have noticed... i need to get the fan in asap...

Mr.Modify 08-03-2005 10:07 PM

very nice...

04|5spdCivic 08-03-2005 10:17 PM

lol @ "fans gonna sound like a leafblower" you know we actually have the same problem with our audi when the a/c is on.
congrats on the new radiator by the way.

P.S. that seems really weird to be congragulating someone on getting a damn radiator but oh-well

:)
