Review on πŸ”₯ 1994-1997 Honda Accord Radiator by TYC 1494 - Enhanced Compatibility by Casey Narcisse

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Radiator to fit my 95 Accord EX 2.2L

Well packaged, arrived in good condition, in original box marked KOYORAD Complete Radiator. Installed this radiator in my '95 Honda that had a NipponDenso that was leaking. Somewhere around the tank. The TYC radiator comes with radiator cap and drain cock and appears to be identical in shape to the original. It does not include rubber grommets on the bottom; I used old ones that were in good condition. All openings for the fan shrouds matched, as did the transmission cooler and coolant hoses. The gearbox housing can be detached. Radiator pipes with a 19mm wrench; They have flared fittings so they can be rotated if needed (they line up pretty close to the original but I adjusted one of them a little). The heatsink is made in Indonesia and appears to be slightly lighter than the original. The original Denso appears to have brass upper/lower guide plates (to which the coolant tubes attach), while this one appears to use aluminum plates. The ribs on this one felt very thin and flexed slightly when I accidentally touched them during installation (compared to the original, which wasn't as brittle). Not sure how long it will last, but it was a lot cheaper than Honda's OEM radiator. Time will tell, overall satisfied.

Pros
  • Exceptional performance
Cons
  • Communication with seller
