Which rad - CSF 42mm or Koyo 37mm

Postby mrbrossnan » Tue Oct 13, 2015 5:05 pm

Does anyone have any experience with fitting CSF 42mm rad on their NBs or SEs?

No experience with the CSF, have the older generation 37" Koyo fitted to my SE and am very happy.

Have a Koyo V2277 in the SP, hasn't skipped a beat and the build quality is top notch.

I have the koyo, haven't fitted it yet, waiting for 100k service. just keep in mind that if you go to a bigger capacity radiator you may need to get a bigger overflow tank also (I think - someone please correct me if I'm wrong?!?) I think I saw some people getting them made on the forum somewhere? //

also what coolant do people tend to run here anyway?
