anyone else running the koyo radiator? how was the install?
|
Install was a snap. Is this on an FD? If so about the only thing you will have to modify is the 2 little "L" shaped brackets. The left and right ones will need to be swapped so the radiator sits an inco or 2 lower.

I could take pics, but since it is installed it looks about the same as any other radiator. I will see if I can get my camera in the front and get a pic of the brackets.
|
yeah it's on an FD....some pics would be great
|
Well here are the pictures I was able to get. Not really alot to see but first is the passenger side radiator mounting bracket as seen through the mouth in the bumper.
http://tom93r1.kicks-ass.net:8080/im...ad_bracket.jpg edit: looking at this first picture I wonder if I got a picture of the wrong thing and that is actually the condensor bracket? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/angry.png Back outside to check... Next is the driver side radiator mounting bracket as seen from the top behind the A/C receiver/drier. It was not visible from below as there was some plastic in the way. http://tom93r1.kicks-ass.net:8080/im...ad_bracket.jpg Looking at the radiator trhough the bumper mouth all you can really see is the A/C condensor so that wasnt really worth taking a picture of and looking from above all I can see of the radiator is the fan shroud. Plus the intercooler is in the way of seeing most of it. If there are any angles that anybody thinks would be worth taking a picture at let me know and i will see what I can do. edit again: Damn, that is the condensor. I just looked and cant even see the radiator brackets without removing a bunch of plastic from under the car. Oh well. The picture of the drivers side really is a radiator bracket though. |
pictures don't work
|
came in yesterday....it's so clean and shiny....i need a digital camera.
|
I wish I had a digi cam when I got my Koyo, make sure to take a picture of it next to the stocker for a good comparison shot.
The Koyo is such a pretty chunk of metal. It really is too bad that you have to bury it down in the front of the car where you cant see it. |
finally got around to installing.....pain in my ass. took about took about 4 hours total...that includes clean up and stuff. havn't tested yet to tired....
edit: of course when i say pain in my ass that's because i complain a lot. in actuality it was much easier than i thought it would be. |
How thick are those radiators?
|
wraith and tom93r1 where did you guys get the koyo from and how much was it? do you think i could do a v-mount system with it or would it be to much cutting and welding??
thanks guys |
