Default All Aluminum Radiator
hello,

thanks for everything you guys do for the legend community.

No longer want to deal with shit plastic radiators, and looking for an all aluminum radiator. been reading through many threads. lots of good discussion but I cant seem to find which to get.. Since its 2013 maybe there is some new advice or people that need one as well.

I would like either a C&R, GODSPEED, or KOYO all aluminum radiator.

Which C&R Radiator has been used? What are the dimensions I should be looking for in a GODSPEED, or any other radiator.

What website can I buy these?

Thank so much.

There isn't a Legend specific one, that I can recall.

The best is the OE Denso part, if you can part with sufficient coin to acquire it.

Koyos are an easy solution that'll last well enough if you don't pooch the install somehow and the rest of the system is in order.

I looked at my radiator and it looks much different from all others... I will post pic very soon so you can see what I mean. Most look like it has a plastic top ( dont think it is plastic tho) and every time they leak, its at the top part. Mine does look like its aluminum.. But will show soon so you can see.

That is why most of us put in a Koyo Aluminum radiator as a replacement.

Model number KYA1278.

I can get one for $126 picked up.

Nice that is on my list now. I don't feel like the metal radiator I have now deals well with higher rpms. It ends up with the classic pooling of a quarter shot of coolant within the ring around the top (can't be the cap I changed it 3 times).
