Honda Half-core Radiator Installed
#12
Yup. I didn't modify anything. In fact, this radiator cools so well that for awhile during the summer I didn't have the fan hooked up and it still wouldn't overheat tongue.gif. Did you hook up your fan to work constantly or did you wire it into the stock harness (what I did)?

The GT35 was sitting about 1/4 inch from the stock radiator. In fact you can see that the metal on the radiator was discolored about 1 foot around where the turbo was close to it.

Engine temp is controlled by the thermostat. I'm hearing that coolant can be more effective with a higher pressure cap on the radiator. So between a 1.7bar cap and a 180 degree Thermostat, it should be more then possible to keep your engine cooler then stock.
