Hi guys!
first question...
I\'m searching for a new rad for my FC3S S4 1987...
now, should i get a Koyo or Fluidline Radiator?
And... where to get this rads in europe? only have found them on ebay.com ... is there a shop or something?
second question...
i wanna go e-fan... i know all advantages and disadvantages of this system so pls no discussion :)
which maximum size i can fit on the stock FC3s radiator? at the moment i have no way to take the sizes from my car...
thx 4 answers
Ok, for the electric fan I would recommend taking the shroud to a local scrap yard and seeing what fits best :) Then get yourself a thermo sensor that operates at 82deg, wire that into a N/O relay which you can use to switch the fan.
You should try a company like BluePrint for the radiator (assuming you want standard) or someone like Pace for an uprated one. I have no experience of Koyo or Fluidline so I cant comment I\'m afraid.
thx :)
i will buy a nice SPAL Vent... but i need the sizes ;)

Koyo is very popular in the US and i\'ve only heard good things about it... its a direct plug n\' play cooler with 2 times more volume than the stock rad... but i don\'t want to import the rad vom the US 2 Austria... :/
I have had both rads and prefer the Fluidine. As for fans i\'ve run twin 10" and a single 16" (not at the same time) i have to say if your not worried about it costing a little more get the twin set up and fit them diagnaly.
BTW if money is an issue look up Griffin rads. I have one of theres fitted at the moment and i can\'t fault it. if money is no object get a K2RD Rad there about as big as you can fit in the stock posision.

i will go with a fluidline or koyo, because i\'ve never heard something about problems with them... also because they are direct drop in! (lines etc.)
where can i get them in europe? any shop? :)
I had a problem with my Koyo i snaped the Filler pipe off when the battery decided it didn\'t like living on its Tray :(
