nigel said:Just had a major update / service done to my car, ‘92 GPW w/34,500 mi. which also included the replacement of the OEM radiator with a KOYO all aluminum radiator and now I’m seeing all this bad talk about how they’re a p.o.s..
I was under the impression they were the one to go to as an upgrade for better cooling and longevity.
Am I wrong and if so any suggestions?
Cheers

I don't think the KOYO is a p.o.s. I do think it got damaged some how in shipping. It leaked from the get go, and I couldn't even fill the cooling system, so the car was never driven with my original KOYO. Installing a radiator is simplicity itself, so I just come back to shipping damage. There is a note in the packaging to have you inspect it upon arrival. FWIW, I still think it is the one to go to.

Thanks for your kind thoughts. I agree that the better change would (will) be the 6 speed, especially the improved mph/1000 RPM for long distance driving. Finding a 6-speed is proving to be extremely difficult, however.
If you go to the NA performance section, you'll see it is now possible to tune the '91 - '94 ECU. Some Prime members have cracked the ECU software, and you can purchase data logging hardware and software from specialty manufacturers. That is what [MENTION=18194]Honcho[/MENTION] and I are going to do out here in Colorado. I want to stay NA just because that is what I want to do. I'm not interested in being crazy fast in the NSX.
When my wife's Series 3 6MT Acura TL finally dies I'll be getting her a Tesla Model 3 Performance, which will blow the doors off any NA1 or 2. It won't be nearly as much fun or a connected as the NSX, but what a combination for my 109 year old garage!
