Radiator, Koyo vs CXracing

Awesome how this took off.
Will be waiting for the Trackspeed radiator. Do things right the first time. Less to worry about.
Only question right now: Shrouding, the other part of what is needed. Will cxracing/mishimoto shrouds bolt up to this? Any reason not to get them? Can get a CXRacing shroud and fans for 60$ shipped, seems just as good as a Mishimoto. Again, i want to do things right, but i don't see how fans are as important, as with a good radiator, fans should be more of a pitting kind of thing, right?

One of the nice benefits of the triple pass is that the radiator inlet is moved over, offset from the OE throttle body location, which makes reroutes MUCH easier to install.
BTW, we are doing all fitment work on cars with RB tubular bars and RB sway bar braces for a worst-case scenario.

We have not tried, but I'm almost positive the shroud will not bolt up. You could always attach the fans alone in a different manner without the shroud which will work perfectly.
I can't comment on your oil temps with whatever oil cooler setup you will be using, but your car will get up to whatever temp your thermostat is with this radiator. That is also assuming you have a stock cooling system (no re-route) or a re-route that is done correctly. In my Spec Miata, it took only a few minutes of idling before it was up to operating temperatures (160s).

Last prototype version is being finished right now. Once we confirm fitment of it with a fan, we will start taking orders.
We will be sure to update this thread once they are available.

just building "my car"... doesn't matter if you agree with my build or not.. its already well on its way.
the question was:
would the cxracing radiator be suffice cooling for my build? Pros and Cons against this radiator/fan setup?
doesn't make me a low budget racer, but i'm only 19 boss... i work full time, go to school full time... so i'm more on a "budget" per say..
thanks for the input..

You're the one who said you were a racer. Your name says "DriftProjectR" where would i have ever gotten that idea?
You don't need anything other than what you have. If you can't figure out that if what you have is good enough, so would an upgrade, i recommend taking your car to a shop.
Your age has nothing to do with your ability to create accurate statements, unless you're under seven years old. Racer means you race. You used the word, and you were wrong. Get over it.

Yes, it does. How can you not understand that more power = more heat?
You're the one who said you were a racer. Your name says "DriftProjectR" where would i have ever gotten that idea?
You're the one here asking questions about how to setup your build, obviously it matters.

This is not your typical forum, a lot of guys here track their cars on a regular basis. Some are extremely fast, holding track records. What will work for one of them will not work for another. So, in order to get accurate information, one needs to clarify what mods are done to the car, and how it will be driven. Getting on it every now and then on the street is very different than 20+ min at 7000 RPM.
Nagase is correct, a street driven car @200whp will do fine with stock internals and probably a stock radiator with good ducting. The radiator you asked about will be fine for your goals.
My car will be a street and track car. I'm building it to handle up to 300whp, I'm not sure how high I'll go, but I wanted the headroom. All the tracks around me are in the desert. So I am considering the TSE radiator for the worst case scenario, becuase I don't want to blow up my wami new motor. If I wasn't going to track it, CXracing would be great.
Edit: It took me ten min to write this? wow. Since your from such a great lineage of great racers, I guess you won't be needing us. Later

its in the work right now, im building my 1.6 with a garrett t28, greddy Exhaust mani, M Tuned rods, Rock Pistons, Etc Etc.
im only looking for about 200HP max... not looking for big numbers.. more just want a street car that i can punch every now and then... not really into racing my miata...

Okay so I just did a search(obviously you didn't), you have not made a intro thread. We take this very seriously here. Please make a intro thread, that way we can know what your car is(year, model, mods, etc..) and what your intentions are with it. Also with this information we can see if any one on this forum is local, that way you can get some hands one help from a veteran miata turbo master(if they want to put up with a drifterRRRRRRRRR!!!!)
Just like the all powerful Nagase said before, for your power goals a stock radiator with a little ducting will be more than substantial. Built motor and a gt28 for a 200hp street car??? Nugga please. Do yourself a favor and spend your money in other places that might need attention.
