I had a PWR and loved it. The only reason that I no longer have one is that I damaged it and decided to go a bit cheaper and get a Mishimoto. Now I'm battling fitment problems (there's a thread discussing it and Mishi is currently redesigning it). The PWR's are more expensive but if you can part with the money they are well worth it IMO. I don't have any experience with the Godspeed brand.

I am happy with my purchase from Grimsta @ Zankoku Performance. Shipping was a little slow, about a week, due to being Parcel Post from CA to GA, but it was worth it to do biz with a specialty and nice because it was INCLUDED in the $280!!

I have a Mizu aluminum radiator, it keeps my car nice and cool. Plus, it has a lifetime warranty. It's also a lot bigger than the oem radiator, the mizu takes almost 2 gallons of fluid alone.

If you're getting a PWR radiator, you'll only be able to keep the stock fan if you stay 7m. Going 1j (and possibly 2j, I don't know of anyone who runs a PWR and a 2j) will cause some space issues unfortunately, so electric fans are your only option. :(

I've read that the stock fan pulls more air than electric, provided that your fan clutch is in good shape. With that said, I've read a number of folks who are happy with their electrics. I think it depends on what you want more: electrics give you more room and takes some load off the engine whereas the stock pulls more air but puts some load on the engine and takes up more space. I had the PWR with stock fan and never had a problem both in cooling efficiency or fitment.

You will find most here will say "storck" fans work better - flow more and fewer problems. If you search it you will find have been many debates over this subject here.

Personally I would stick with a mechanical fan if I had the space. That said, i haven't had any problems with my electric fan setup, even running the thing hard through canyons (in boost most of the way for ~8 minutes), the car only got up to around 215, 220*. Not hard to make a shroud for the electric fan if need be, but you don't need to worry about a mechanical fan taking too much power off your engine though. 3hp, you're NOT going to miss.

I got my PWR from horsepowerfreaks.com. They're pricey, but a very well made radiator. :)
