Koyorad oil cooler?

///maestro · 02-20-2016, 11:28 PM

Anyone have any experience with a koyorad oil cooler for their 370z? I've heard amazing things about their radiators on other cars but couldn't find anything regarding a member on here running their oil cooler. Looking for some input, the price is too nice not to pass up if it's as good as their radiator.

Thanks in advance

Never heard anyone using it. It could be fine. If it were me I would stick with the tested setrab oil coolers. Losing oil pressure for what ever reason will cost a lot more then any savings from using an untested cooler.

Curious as to why the setrab is so much more expensive than the koyorad. Koyorad is definitely a great company, just curious as to why these are priced so drastically.

Koyorad = Asia base
Setrab = Europe base

IMO why is a top of the line Mercedes more expensive then a top of the line Lexus.

Simple answer. Go with setrab. Even companies like Fast Intentions use setrab for their twin turbo builds and so do many others.

If you try to save a few bucks now, you will spend thousands in the long run...

Not really trying to save a few bucks. I can almost say that koyorad has better quality parts then mishimoto. You can just see the difference in the welds. But I'm gonna go with the setrab kit from Z1 (most likely) - 34 row along with the CSF radiator

Thanks guys.
