The N-flow is a very good radiator.

Some koyo installs require you to flip the brackets around to make space for the extra thickness of the core, some require a little slotting or cutting of the mounting holes. In any case take your time and you should be fine.

I just use the green coolant. Mix it with enough to keep from freezing. Cold in WI.

Water wetter will help in the summer.
