Is the PWR radiator *REAL* a clone of the Fluidyne?!

fluidyne
So if the fluidyne radiator is the same size of the stock radiator, what is the coolant capacity compared to the stock radiator. I'm assuming that the fluidyne has more rows? How does the fluidyne capacity compare to the Koyo? If the Koyo holds quite a bit more coolant, then perhaps it is worth the time it takes to install it vs. the fluidyne.

from my understanding the koyo does hold more water. however, the fluidyne has better cooling efficiency(sp). I could be wrong, but i remember reading something like that over two years ago when i got my koyo. I did buy my koyo from the store, and it was chosen because the fluidyne was on back order. I was worried about putting it in(first few mods when i owned the car) and just watched as it slipped itself in. To this day, i have had only one problem with it. The water drain plug keeps breaking off, well the head does. The rest is screwed into it. Kinda scary, but im thinking it could just be INSTALLER error. Hey, im not perfect...but my cars cooling is right now. Also, i know this is off topic...but if you see the car overheating(aftermarket gauge) odds are its the driver side radiator fan. My temps dropped close to 20-30 degrees on average after replacing mine. Do yourself a favor and check these from time to time.

The PWR and fluidyne are identical radiators. Only difference is the the PWR has a nicer polish and says PWR on the front. I have installed them before with no problems and have one in my car.
