Whats the Best radiator for extreame heat?
The reason i ask is i live in the palm springs area and last year it got up to 120 degrees and summer is coming up so i want to get an after market radiator. so wich one is good for the extreame heat? Or is it just a preference thing? PS i will be modding and eventually turbo soon but for now i am pretty much stock.

KOYO is just an oversized stock radiator, I know people that ran the KOYO on grip and drift and still had over heating problems. Switched to ARC and never had over heating problems after that. Im running the ARC myself and I never had overheating issues on the track.
"Made with the highest quality materials and workmanship, ARC radiators continue to always be one step ahead of their competitors in technology. With the use of aluminum extrusion molding (Mitsubishi Aluminum Corporation P.A.T), ARC is able to obtain an extremely strong unit while maintaining a lightweight construction. The tubes use many layers in its structure to allow high water pressures to make its revolutions in the passages. With testing and many hours of research, the results are a 127.5% difference. With their use of super micro tubes, they’re able to stabilize the water temperature to a optimal condition for race or street enviroments."

When you say overheating problems what water temp were they hitting? Just wondering.. I hit about 220-230 running it hard at the track!

I have a koyo radiator (thin one) and I really like it. I would look into the thicker Koyo radiator or if you have a lot of money that you want to spend I would go with the ARC one. Just my 2 cents
for the price, i got the koyo 3 row and haven't had an overheating problem on track yet. i used to with my oem radiator.
if i had the money, i'd look into ARC but for 350 shipped, i had to go with the koyo.
