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.

 

I meant, anyone knows

 

I wouldn't switch back to a stock radiator if I were you. :nono: For high-heat applications like yours, the stock radiator is insufficient. I really wouldn't risk it.

A performance radiator with aluminium end-tanks would be best.
Bite the bullet and go with a new Fluidyne or C&R radiator.

As far as moving the radiator core forward - you're gonna need to modifiy the stock brackets or fabricate your own. h: :thinking: Or could you switch to a "pusher" fan setup?

I have to disagree...the stock radiator is far from insufficient for that setup. An aftermarket radiator is ideal, but you can find other things to spend $350 on. Make sure your fan works and you'll be fine.

I would check the classifieds on HAN and HT, maybe Ebay, and pick up a barely used OEM radiator for $50-$100. You can also get a new not oem replacement for not much more.

I worry too much sometimes. I admit that.
