If you go aluminum Koyo is the way to go.
Pros: good aluminum radiator
I went with Koyo. CARid was the best price at the time. Been 7 years and no issues.
Pros: no issues for years
Radiators aren\u2019t supposed to leak. I have the same Koyo radiator in my NA Z, just put it in this past summer. I def do not have that leak.
Cons: radiator shouldn't leak
Vehicle:
Nissan
Personally I’d be buying a koyo in full aluminum.
Pros: full aluminum
I went with a Koyo radiator, which is considerably better built than the factory piece, cost less than $300 with new hoses, and took maybe 2 hours, start to finish. Of course, I replaced the coolant at the same time.
Pros: better built than factory
Vehicle:
Honda S2000
just tested my new koyo hyper V at the track and that thing kept it rock solid cold, 180-203f the entire day but it was like 68 degrees out lol.
Pros: kept it rock solid cold
Koyo for top quality, mishimoto for normal quality. Both will do the job well
Pros: top quality
Cons: price higher than Mishimoto
I just bought a Koyo, goes in tomorrow and appears to be great quality
Pros: great quality
Seems like a loose ground, my s13 did this when the grounds randomly came loose. That said my s13 cluster is so damn slow to react so I run an aftermarket gauge. I have a koyo rad which came with a slot for an aftermarket sensor.
Also i would hope it's not the case, however you mentioned this after an alternator change. I had a 96 civic with a turbo setup and I had an alternator with a failed voltage regulator, all of my aftermarket gauges and temp gauge was acting like this. I would check the volts from the alternator if this is the case, it also ballooned the hell out of my battery..
Pros: aftermarket gauge reliable, alternator voltage check
Cons: potential voltage regulator failure
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
