So I have been reading the forums all morning and cant find a straight answer. That is why I am here, i am needing to upgrade from the stock 2jz gte to a high performance radiator. The car makes 650 to the rear wheels, and the stock radiator isn't enough. I have found two online and I just wanting some help in which one I should go with, or one that i haven't found yet. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

I don't think you'll find anyone who's bought a Koyo and been unhappy with it. Yes, they are a bit pricey, but they are worth every penny. The Mishimotos are theoretically a decent alternative minus the fact that they have potential fitment issues. After redesigns with involvement from the MK III community they still somehow manage to catch fan blades.

I have a Koyo and I love it.

The only thing to remember there is that for a 7M you'll need a plug for the temp sensor location used for the 1JZ hydrofan. Some people have used a 3/8" NPT plug, but that's not it, it's a metric 16mm thread. I don't remember off hand if it's a 1.25mm or 1.5mm thread pitch, but I think 1.25mm. I got one from the "drain plugs" section at the local PartSource.
