Engine radiator VALEO or Koyo

I just bought a Koyo, goes in tomorrow and appears to be great quality

Seems like a loose ground, my s13 did this when the grounds randomly came loose. That said my s13 cluster is so damn slow to react so I run an aftermarket gauge. I have a koyo rad which came with a slot for an aftermarket sensor.

Also i would hope it's not the case, however you mentioned this after an alternator change. I had a 96 civic with a turbo setup and I had an alternator with a failed voltage regulator, all of my aftermarket gauges and temp gauge was acting like this. I would check the volts from the alternator if this is the case, it also ballooned the hell out of my battery..

Koyo Radiator A2807. Great brand and very affordable.

My opinion koyo rad. But any with the heart symbol are favorites.

It’s got an actual Koyo radiator which is a good sign.

My only recommendation after testing several different radiators is to go with Koyo.

My '09 had the bad number, so I bought a Koyo radiator and spent an afternoon swapping it all. That was ~6-7 years ago.

Koyo radiator is the move, it’s all aluminum, no plastic to worry about, the drain plug is legit and there’s a port to add a coolant temp sensor if you want gauges. It has an extra row for better heat exchange and dissipation my only complaint is there’s no aftermarket specific dual cooling fan set up which I feel would do wonders for cooling the engine bay at idle .

I just bought a koyo and it's a bit of a learning curve installing it. It took a few hours to burp the system of air but now I'm chasing small leaks. The OEM cap doesn't fit the radiator

This new radiator expect to fail within 1 year warranty or 1 day after warranty runs out. Original OEM was Valeo Made in Brazil, went 22 years. It cracked from pulling on upper hose to see timing mark on flywheel.
