Hows the fitment on that thing? did you have to do any modifications to make it go in?
Cause I'm thinking of putting one of those in instead of trying to clean up my stock one and put it back...

This thing was a complete drop in replacement on my Turbo II. It was the easiest mod I have ever done. The only issue I had was getting the fan shroud off and back on...that thing is a pain in the ***.

I was considering a Fluidyne radiator myself.. but the core size is only 38mm with single chamber.
The Koyo on the other hand is dual chamber and 53mm. More cooling. and cost $40 less. Both are drop-in's ... so I went with the Koyo. Plus the Koyo has a 1.5 year warranty the fluidyne only 1 year.
But I must say i have heard nothing but good things about the fluidyne.

I wonder why Koyo made a radiator for the S5s and not the S4s?
Does anyone know the differences between the S4 and S5 radiators (assuming that they were stock)? What is the difference between the S4 and S5 Fluidyne radiators?

Does anyone have a picture of the Koyo radiator installed in their FC?

If that is special made JUST for the series 5 FC then you would think they would have made the nipple on the filler point towards the front where the overflow tank is. Instead you need to bend a hose over there. I know this is a stupid gripe, but if you're gonna make a custom piece then make it right. Otherwise it looks perfect.

The person who said that he has seen these radiators extend the life of the engine 30% is a well known rotary builder in this area, and no he doesn't sell them, he only builds motors. Don't know if there is any truth to it or not.
