LOL..no kidding!

 

haha we have plenty of hundred degree days here, more in the 90s but its still damn hot, dont know about the humidity tho, ive never been to florida. it justs sucks at stop lights not bad when your movin lol

 

oh yeah, when i move the rad vertical, can i just use like an aluminum catch can from summit for the over flow instead of using the stock one? thanks guys!

 

Ok, I will.....lol Its not that bad Thats why they made t-tops

 

Does this mod help keep the engine cooler or is it just for looks ?

 

doesnt help keep it cooler, just more for room for turbos ect. im just doing it for the extra room and a cleaner look in the bay. anyways, whats everyone using for fans? i got the 25241 rad, just waiting for a decent day to cut the car up. so what fans are you guys runnin who have done this? also the catch can, would that work? mounted right where the battery used to be? in trunk now..

 

Have a part number or dimensions for that first vertical radiator mod? I have been contemplating this mod myself to help clear up some room under the hood and also for a cleaner meaner look. Looks like a pretty easy mod and ill have my rad and fans out when i do the cam swap come spring time.

 

in the post right before yours. 25241, search it on summit, its like 179 dollars. i think its like 1-25241-x or something like that, but 25241 is the main part number, made by griffin

 

looks good! I really like how clean it looks, and it looks like my morroso CAI would actually fit right w/ the rad like that. but now I'm going w/ a lid set up so standing the rad up is out of the question. but how do you not rip your air damn off like that?

 

Thanks for the part number! so going from the stock slant mounted rad does this take away from the cooling on it? Will this give me cooling issues moving it to vertical mounting?

 

most guys say that it cools just fine if you do everything right. it is a 3 inch core rad so im sure that helps. anyways.... any one help me with the fans? please? haha part numbers would be awesome, but as always any help is appriciated. thanks alot guys!

 

Yes zoomin. The rad air dam is lower, but the angle is steeper than stock. The air dam can be cut down to the stock clearance heigth (I did not do this). It clears OK for me, but can drag on some inclined drives unless you approach on an angle. Anyway, it has worked great, and I also run a Spearco IC inback of the air dam with an air scoop. It's a large rad (be_cool rad from Summit). I also run Evans cooling media NPG. Ice cold op temp. Hope this helps. B.

 

i think ive decided to do mine just like kylers, just got the rad, but i just need to figure out what im doing for fans. anyy suggestions anyone? leaning towards modifing the flx 220 fans to fit the rad, anything else i can do? also what should i do for mounting, to hold the rad in place? thanks guys!

 

1 by1 square tube will be far stronger than what you see (the way its cut you loose 3 of 4 supports), not as clean looking but plenty strong.. I also added another 1by1 mid way down.. Not bashing, it looks great Kyle...


MZG that looks great too.... Some nice work fellas..

 

i will most likely add something like that on the inside of whats left also, just for strength
