[HyperTek]

Friend at https://www.facebook.com/RETuningServiceFactory posted these up, he has a shop and someone brought this in. It is a radiator , i believe he cut the stem off to look at it.

Some guys are trying to say it is not authentic Godspeed, but perhaps a knock off...hmmmm

Thought this would be appropriate to post here since alot of you guys seem to run godspeed

[s13hvv]

Well that's no bueno

[DoobieS13]

Are you really surprised with a Godspeed product????!!!!

[tricky_ab]

Some guys are trying to say it is not authentic Godspeed, but perhaps a knock off...hmmmm


Now I've read EVERYTHING! A knock off of junk to begin with!? Oh man, Whoever those guys are, I don't know how anyone could say this with a straight face...

Don't skimp out with buying this type of stuff kids...

[towlie]

Authentic Godspeed. Now I've heard it all

[cincity240]

guess i'm an idiot because I don't really see the problem.. So there's metal slightly blocking the flow, it's godspeed, did anyone expect anything different?

[Kingbaby]

authentic godspeed. Now i've heard it all

+1

..........

[jamg]

why didn't you just get another one from them?

i have a CX racing radiator and the welds on mine are no where as bad as what been done to that godspeed.

[s13hvv]

I do have a question why did he cut off the neck couldnt he just shine a flash light down there and saw that?

[xoxide]

I didnt realize the quality of Godspeed products were even in question... Cheap ass 240 owners will still run this stuff...

[fliprayzin240sx]

Thats some of the worst welds I've ever seen. Looks like my weld using a Harbor Freight wire fed welder.

[Corbic]

I am also not surprised. Should have just taken a dermal to the inside of the neck.

What was the point of all this other than to waste $100.

[zooopreme]

Hope this thread stays open so people can stop defending cheap companies due to their availability and pricing.

[MrSanchez925]

did someone really suggest there is a knock off of GODSPEEDS?

[S14_BOSS]

Lol nice! Super half assed

[TMW]

Wow, this is disappointing. I thought GodSpeed was high quality stuff. Guess not.

[STL240SXDRIFT]

Godspeed ANYTHING beware...

[Matej]

It is obviously a Goospeed radiator.

[STL240SXDRIFT]

Might aswell take a dumper inside of it and send that shitbox back to em...

[s13silvia123]

good thing i'm rocking a Koyo

[fliprayzin240sx]

Wow, this is disappointing. I thought GodSpeed was high quality stuff. Guess not.

Not sure if that was sarcasm...you forgot to click on the sarcasm button.

[blessedhellrider]

sigh....so many of you guys love the bling factor of parts . zilvia is so full of ,"how pretty my rims are" or "does my side skirt make me look fat" .
girls and their jewelry.:2c:

[OutToWinPAHC]

Does not shock me at all, people who swear by their shitty arms with cast joints do. Godspeed cant even manage to keep the sick ass red paint on the product, what makes you think that 8 year old girl can lay some awesome welds

[vg33er200sx]

Strange. Not to say that Godspeed is quality shit, but I've got one of their radiators in my s12 and it works just fine...and did not look like that lol.

Maybe someone was quitting that day haha

[kOOpA]

authentic godsp-

i don't even

[ManoNegra]

But think of all the money you can save and spend on parts that really matter... like paint glitter and stickers.

[BlewByYou]

This is why i paid $700 for a Custom Griffin Radiator.. You get what you pay for guys~

[delado]

I'll pay the extra 200-300 for a koyo.

[DEMo]

I don't see what the big deal is. This is something that should be expected with a $100 radiator.

Now, on a different note, HKS has pulled some stupid shit. Check out this Hi-Power true dual for a G35.

$200 70s camaro griffin would work.

[BlewByYou]

$200 70s camaro griffin would work.

naw i have a custom V mount set up for the S14 Rb. 4" thick, AN fittings etc..

[WESamiss]

Wow, this is disappointing. I thought GodSpeed was high quality stuff. Guess not.
troll. haha

We've all known Godspeed stuff was poor quality for a very long time, why are there people surprised by this? haha

Member guys, you get what you pay for.

Big news flash, you got a cheap ass radiator, its going to be cheap.

[Corbic]

$200 70s camaro griffin would work.

Pictures? Ive heard this many times but I actually own a '79 Camaro with an aluminium radiator. It won't fit.

[KOUKIboy]

Hahaha knock off of a knock off!!!!
Godspeed and Isis = Crap products, that's why I'm not surprised...

[Corbic]

Godspeed and Isis = Crap products, that's why I'm not surprised...

I've owned 2 ebay units. Neither looked that bad, but both had plenty of "repeatability/dimensional" issues.

Both worked flawlessly for cooling the car.

A bit of grinding would have cleaned that right up. With our actually doing a temp and flow tray you really can't say it's garbage.

I'm willing to bet even as shown, it would have cooled a SR just fine.

[atpena]

Makes you think twice before being cheap that's for sure, thanks for the heads up

Those are not HKS welds. You bought a knock off!

[2.5T_/<ouki]

That exhaust doesnt look like HKS

[S14_BOSS]

Those are not HKS welds. You bought a knock off!

Hahaha! He bought an "H Gay S" exhaust! :hey:

[coupesallday!]

Mishimoto worked fine for me..........

[surge s14]

Mishimoto worked fine for me..........

this
ive had 3

1-KA
1-SR
1-LS1 (this was another SR config)

no problems...ever

RX7Club kinda supports them lmao
Beware of Godspeed Radiators - RX7Club.com (http://www.rx7club.com/2nd-generation-specific-1986-1992-17/beware-godspeed-radiators-1022757/)

That HKS exhaust above could easily be a knock off, hopefully the owner learned their lesson and didn't try to bad mouth HKS lol

[K_style]

Mishimoto worked fine for me..........

I mean even Godspeed one works fine for some people. it's matter of quality and craftsmanship that we can't find on certain stuff..

[1on1]

Now, have your "friend" buy a koyo, mishimoto, or whatever brand and do the same thing.

[K_style]

But seriously that does not look like Godspeed radiator to me. It would be crazy if someone made knock off Godspeed though.

Just to play devil's advocate, I've seen more than a couple dozen of GSP radiator but welding is different, logo stamp looks different.

I personally bought GSP radiator for my FD once which that one in the picture is, It looks very very different. and I didn't weld like that and I saw inside of water neck and didn't see anything quite like that..

[blessedhellrider]

naw i have a custom V mount set up for the S14 Rb. 4" thick, AN fittings etc..

well thats enplanes it :D


Pictures? Ive heard this many times but I actually own a '79 Camaro with an aluminium radiator. It won't fit.

BBC car? maybe ,1st gen camaro/ 68-72 nova.

[Corbic]

well thats enplanes it :D

Z28, while the ports are in the right spot, the read is maybe 3" taller and 4" wider.

[Jtuned_andy]

I can totally see this being true as a knock off Godspeed. Enough little kids with some pocket change bought the cheapest shit they could find and put the name out there. Then in comes ANOTHER Chinese manufacturing LLC that says hey look these twits love this low priced JUNK, lets make even LOWER PRICED JUNK out of crushed coke cans in Burmese caves by pygmy children who are blind with a tig welder.

[Jersthecool]

If you wanted to buy godspeed or isis, an exhaust or even an intercooler would be fine. It's when you go past that, you really have to watch out. Personally when it comes to a radiator I would never even put one close to my car or a friends even if it was free! Unless it's oem, or a more higher end one such as mishimoto or koyo it shouldn't be used.

I bit the bullet and tried out the isis oil pan and it was a disaster. The "oil baffles" were almost like basic door hinges with a couple holes in them because they drilled the screw holes in the wrong spots, they also wouldn't open and close easily and got stuck on the bottom of the pan, it also wasn't completely straight when I tried to mount it to the engine and lastly to top it off, the drain plug threads were actually broken and the drain plug wouldn't even tighten. Swapped it out for a circuit sports one for a little bit extra money and haven't been happier. The build quality is outstanding, installed perfectly with no problems and I've never had a problem with it since. The only way you'll ever see me buy a godspeed or isis product is if it's some little accessory or something that my car doesn't heavily rely on.

[ghoti]

:blah: The Welds looks like crap :blah:

When have you seen an 8yr old Chinese kid weld like a pro?

[Taniguchi_Is_#1]

lolololol @ mishimoto being "high end".

[7RIFT0]

You get what you pay for

[XxHybridx]

And the sad part is companies like these will keep on going strong simply because so many people buy their shit.

Ill probably get exiled for saying this, but I think Megan has been (or atleast trying to) stepping up their game lately on their quality. Just judging by some of the OLD megan stuff I had, versus some of the newer Megan stuff that came on the zenki I just got a few weeks back.

[Martino]

Anyone else get on the edge of their seat as that reciprocating saw was close to cutting all the way through?.....no? Just me? Really? Oh...

I can back that up. I've had my GodSpeed radiator for about 7 years and have never had a leak or anything bad happen to it and the welds on mine look nothing like those. I have also never had any cooling issues on my SR Going from track weekends to Miami bumper to bumper traffic and driving all the way to New Mexico and taking the heat here.

[drifterjoey]

I have a lot of Godspeed parts on my car too and nothing looks close to the welds on that picture. If I’m not mistaken that is the filler neck just below where the cap goes, so it would have no effect on cooling. If it is Godspeed then they will replace it no problem. I blew a coilover and had it replaced in days, they are really good about that stuff. I also want to know why you cut a "NEW" Radiator like that; clearly you see it has issues. Why not just send it back and get one with out that flaw? That’s right; you need to talk trash about someone today. Is it all about how much you spend on your car, not about how you drive anymore? My bad, didn’t know higher cost=better/faster. Maybe it's just for the fan boys I guess? :2c:

[Piggy]

You can tell who owns godspeed. el oh el

[LoneStarSilvia]

Lol at the video. No gloves, no goggles, no eyeballs, no fucks given!

and he's "smart" because he buys over priced shit.

[DEMo]

Hahaha! He bought an "H Gay S" exhaust! :hey:

That exhaust doesnt look like HKS

Those are not HKS welds. You bought a knock off!

That is an authentic HKS Hi-Power. 350Z and G35 guys have come across this issue.

Another Example of an Authentic HKS:

[EvoVIII808]

if im not mistaken Mishi and Koyo come from the same factory. They are the same inside and out.

[Jersthecool]

I could see that. I've seen both koyo and mishimoto side by side and they were almost identical the koyo may have had a little bit cleaner welds. The only difference is the koyo costs more. I've had my mishimoto for a while now and wouldn't feel the need to "upgrade" to something else.

[jamg]

Lol at the video. No gloves, no goggles, no eyeballs, no fucks given!

i was thinking the same thing lol

all that metal dust just flying everywhere....

[OutToWinPAHC]

if im not mistaken Mishi and Koyo come from the same factory. They are the same inside and out.

Koyo is even is oem in a lot of applications standard copper, plastic rads and coolers. I know Misimoto well (friends who have worked there, been to their place) and had a lot of problems in 2006/7 with radiators leaking, but they have gotten a lot better over the years. But back then it took 3 radiators before getting one that was leak free. They are just a Us company who buys China parts on a private label. When they introduce new products and look for testers its basically the company in China offering a product and they have someone in the PA/DE/NJ area test fit it at RT tuning or their office to make sure it fits, and it meets spec. Private labeling at it's finest, I dont doubt the actual manufacture also private labels other brands, but I dont think Koyo is one.

i would totally agree that most companies private label and ill look more into the differences on Koyo and Mishi and get back to everyone.
From the looks on the outside and inside they are identical, but hard evidence is better then no evidence.

You can tell who owns godspeed. el oh el

What's that mean you can tell who owns Godspeed ? I run everything Godspeed on my daily s14 and my track s14 and s13 , I've never ran into any issues like this , ken and Chris are very legit , if you have an issue they will take care of it with no problems , if you can afford spl jic or any high end parts good for you , but tell me this how many of you a pro drivers or even pro am ? Not many , I was like most of you a few years back I hater Godspeed buy I had only heard shit talking about it , so for my bucket track car I said fuck it and tryed it out , in three years I've only broken on thing and it was a ruca when I tapped a wall I've dirt dropped countless time and still nothing , anyways that's what I have to add and yeah a lot of broken down pos 240s have Godspeed parts because that's what they can afford , again I forgot ALL of you shit talkers are pro drivers lol get real

http://i.minus.com/iuKbbMoEBv0Ws.gif

Wall of text is all over the place...You call your car a bucket so you decided to buy cheap parts...

Alright, cool...I'm still with you...

Then you call into question on how many of us are "pro drivers".

Um...err...I'm trying to understand this angle, so I should only be looking at this God Speed stuff since I'm never ever going "pro".

Following up with another comment on crappy cars running cheap parts because that's what the owners can afford, and then end it all with the pro driver talk again...

The sodium content is HIGH in this thread...

FUCK CHEAP ASSS FUCKS! AND FUCK CHEAP PARTS111

there you go i ended this conversation.

[95_S14]

Cool story bro yeah my first s13 was a bucket , didn't say it wasn't . Go ahead and look for my Kouki in the Kouki s14 thread then talk shit

[tricky_ab]

I guess this is directed towards me?

I never called the quality of your ride into question...

You did...

I was just commenting on WHAT YOU ACTUALLY POSTED!

Oh man chill out and have a diet coke or something...

I'll be sure to check out your ride "bro" in Kouki section...

This is crazy...I didn't even mention that either. You brought up the AM/Pro talk originally.

You said SPL other high end parts is cool if you can afford it, but then follow it up with asking how many of us are pro driver or AM.

I guess the correlation is that unless you're driving like a mad man you don't need to spend the added money? I was grasping at straws since your original post was all over the place. I'm not one to read minds so...

Whatever...

No sweat off of my back...enjoy whatever the heck you're rocking...

[Corbic]

.

If that's true what the fuck is wrong with stock? Is even cheaper and built too OEM spec.

[Taniguchi_Is_#1]

^^ seriously. beyond that, OEM's spend more money on R&D on one specific model than any aftermarket company could ever hope to so one has to think that OEM has to be better than everything.

[HyperTek]

Cars are not a cheap hobby in the firsts place. if you cant afford parts, wrong hobby my friend.

Real passion would appreciate the rare and quality parts you put into your car, not quantity of aftermarket. Even stock suspension links will do you ok for amateur motorsports.

My thoughts on the HKS exhaust posted above, well HKS US headquarters closed a year or so back, which makes me think that maybe overall HKS is starting to struggle a lil bit, in result maybe they outsource their manufacturing now?

[Corbic]

Cars are not a cheap hobby in the firsts place. if you cant afford parts, wrong hobby my friend.

Obviously you are not familiar with other hobbies. Bycicles and guns that cost 5-10k, motorcycle s that exceed $40k. Horses typically cost $500-$1000 a month in care. Ect ect.

Butthurt dude is butthurt. :drama:

If you are comfortable buying the cheapest parts available, that's fine. The amount of defensiveness you've shown indicates concern on your part that saving a few bucks here and there may not be such a great investment.

Some of us take pride in knowing that we have purchased top quality items.
Some of us want to know that the job was done right the first time.
Some of us aren't just here to make cars that fanboys blow each other over. (cheapest coils available, only concern is "if they go low enough", cheapest wheels available, with narrowest tires, just to have "stance")
Some of us don't go for trends.

If you feel fine buying the cheapest shit available, why be defensive about it?

[95_S14]

Never said "everything" I buy is cheap , or was ok "being " cheap , but the "cheap" Godspeed parts I've used have held up more then fine , and I'm not butthurt at all , if you want to buy "baller" parts good for you , I'd bet 90% of the people on this thread have NEVER used it and that's fine , like I had said I thought Godspeed was junk until I tryed it .

[vinnys13]

I am glad this thread was made. I still will never understand the point of skimping on cooling parts ( or any part that keeps the car running)

Not to mention when alot of "kids" do buy these parts, just to get their car back on the road. They go beating the hell out of it.

I can take more if needed... I don't see any crappy welds or half ass openings. Everything looks legit, glad i don't listen to fan boys and i make up my own mind. Godspeed is just the new kid on the block everyone picks on, well keep hating while the rest of us save some well needed cash and get to drive our cars. Not just look and brag about all the expensive parts sitting on our expensive paper weight that doesn't run.

I don't think "everyone" was saying their intercoolers were shit. They've been proven, along with CXRacing, to be more the adequate. It has already been decided that the OP's was a knockoff Godspeed, as silly as that sounds.

The discussion, as with all other Godspeed and/or ISIS/Wicked/etc discussions, turned to suspension arms and whatnot, which are in fact inferior. I don't care how many of you cry about it, the rod ends in those arms are garbage. End of story. Congrats on bringing this redundant thread back.

Are you sure your not from florida?? :mrmeph: I also have those, full set of rear and tension rods in the front. I hit a wall drifting that totaled my car, yet my Godspeed arms were not damaged at all. I lost both wheels the entire back half of the car and the bent the frame in 2 places. Yet with all that crazyness not 1 Godspeed arm was bent, cracked or damaged. :madfawk::madfawk:

it's more so bashing the brand as a whole, which is saying all of their products are shit. godspeed and cxracing have come a long way from how it was a couple years ago...

i currently use ebay arms, made by a guy in the US. it's a single solid piece, so my car would literally break, before the arm even would bend. lol

This thread is about radiators and intercoolers, not arms and links. maybe you should read thread title :mrmeph:

I didn't say anything about the structural rigidity of the arms, I said the rod ends are inferior, and they are.

I clearly acknowledged the original topic. Whether you like it or not, the topic before you so idiotically revived this shit was about their arms.

They most definitely have come a long way(Godspeed more so than CXRacing). I respect their attempts at improving their products. If nothing else I highly respect the customer service they have worked hard to provide. With that said, improving their rod ends would do wonders for their reputation. Even if that meant a $50 increase. $150 for mid range RUCA's would be loads better than $100 for arms with shitty rod ends, and is also a great option for those ballin on a budget. They were going in the right direction when they upped the beefiness of their arms. We'll see what their v3's will bring to the table.

Previous owner was a odd cheap ass.
Anyways when I got my apexi's in I noticed..... My hole new set up waighs LESS then one front Godspeed/nex coilover. Just wow...:tweak:

I guess I forgot to state there's a nice chafe spot on my ISIS ic.
Witch I don't fully trust.
It's not a bad unit at all I like it.. I just shouldn't have been so lazy to fix my ic earlier. Because I wouldn't need to buy a new one.

Oo haha I'm on a I pad, and it allways try's to space up Intercooler to inter cooler ,
Lol and I just realized I spelled it wrong haha

[Karlitos]

Trolls. Trolls everywhere. Everyone with knockoff parts, quit defending them, be happy that they work for you. Everyone with legit parts, be happy you paid for the good stuff, leave the peasants alone.

S14 , RB25 Neo. Gt3582R-1 bar boost same as 1.5 bar boost, much more heat and sh*t , not feeling it on the road.
I have the exact same or had , inter cooler in my car.
Dumped it for a Garrett core . Best thing I have done to my car. The chinese stuff is crap.
Dump that cooler and invest in a proper core, you WILL feel the difference.
