Engine radiator Koyo or Nissens

I have a Koyo on my car and have no complains. I do tracks days and have never had any overheating issues.

Bought a nissens radiator and also an ebay fan shroud with dual 12 inch fans. The oem fan draws a lot of current snd it burned out the plug so I decided to change out. The shroud fits right over the core.

Best one to get is the Nissens 68001A. I just put one in my 2000 9-5. For some reason Rock Auto only lists it as fitting 2001 but it will fit a 1999-2001.

Im going to be replacing my radiator soon with all coolant connection and hoses, does anyone know the difference between the radiator std and heavy duty one? STD: Nissens #652011 Heavy duty: Nissens #65011

The Nissens number is 65264 which is what I eventually ordered.

I was able to shove a cabriolet (nissesns brand) in there...it's stuffed all the way to the left. anyway, it keeps the 1.8t cool without any issues

No worries with the nissen branded radiator. I have installed tons of them into mk3 vr6 cars over the years with no issues. They fit perfect and the quality is very good. I have a mk3 fitment nissens branded radiator in my a2vr6 also that I installed a few years ago. It cools the car perfectly fine on both the street and the drag strip.

For better flushing I have also been removing the upper radiator hose and using my garden water hose to flush the radiator (a Nissens radiator I installed half a dozen years ago after finding a leak in the factory radiator).

Koyo is what I'm using. Quality stuff. I'd highly recommend.

A few things in this pic make me gag, the FRAM filter and cork VC gasket. Not a fan of Castrol oil either, but it isn't the end of the world yet. The Nissens radiator is a nice product, I've used them in the past of other European vehicles.
