I'd personally pay the extra money to get something you know that works, like the Griffin BHR rad or the ron davis mazmart. I was about to buy a koyo, had it on a previous car but read the reviews and it was worst than stock as far as cooling. Cooling your car is very important, get something you know that works.

The Koyo on my car works just fine all sealed up. Personally I wish I had gone with a Griffin or Ron Davis but for most people who never track, the Koyo will work just fine. The Knights Sports Radiator is after all made by Koyo.

Mine was worst at first honestly but not by much, maybe 5-10F at max temps. But NYCGPS posted up a pic on how to properly seal it and it has worked perfect since. During the Texas8 last weekend it was around 85-90F and my max coolant temps were only 212F. Another guy with similar mods to me and the stock radiator and the Mazmart water pump and thermostat was seeing coolant temps in excess of 230F. But I have a huge 28" Fluidyne oil cooler instead of dual stock oil coolers so that may play into it as well.

You should source an oil cooler for me :p
The Koyo is a known downgrade IF you have a stock tightly packed engine bay. There's not much evidence on how it works in a car with an AEM intake and battery relocation though.
Before buying a radiator i'd seriously question the need for it and gather as much hard data as i possibly could.

The problem with the radiator is not the radiator! Its that dang air conditioner cooler!
You should see how much air flow increases once that thing is out of the way and you clean up the oem fan shroud.
It doesnt matter what kind of radiator you put in this car if you dont so something about those two items. Period.
