Stock Vs. Aftermarket Radiator clearance
I have a type r and have put a drag kit on it. The stock radiator was in place and I put FAL fans on it. The turbo actually contacts the fan cowling. Now that I left a socket in the engine bay and went autocrossing I manged to tear up the fan blades and the radiator has developed a leak. Great going! FAL fan replacements are only $18 each. Sweet! That is about what it cost to fill her up at the station.
The radiator, on the other hand is a different story. Acura wants $480 and a new fluidyne is about $330. I don't think there is any way I can fit it in their though. The knock off factory radiators are about $160, but are all that copper crap or whatever it is. Acura's was plastic and alumium.
Any suggestions?
If any nows the measurement of the width on any performance radiators like fluidyne please let me know.
Thanks to all.
