Default Radiator Comparison Pics

I had been investigating some radiator/fan options because my turbo is in the way of my driver side fan and I thought I would share. Rob Cardona from World Motorsports sent me a bunch of pics of the Mishimoto radiator and fan shroud that I thought I would share. I finally decided on the radiator with 1 push and 1 pull fan, which is what World Motorsports ran on their TA tC. If it's good enough for a race car it's good enough for me.

Installed:

looks good and fit looks great! i wish i could use shroud on mine but my clearance is just so tight.. but did i read it right, you have 1 push and 1 pull with both fans mounted behind the radiator? you should be running all pullers

No, I'll be running the normal pull on the right side and push fan on the left side on the other side of the radiator. I won't be using the shroud because I need the extra inch of clearance for the turbo.

I still have my stock radiator on the car, there's nothing wrong with it. I just want to increase the cooling capacity since I've added the turbo. And I don't want to put the fans on the stock radiator and later decide to upgrade the radiator and have to do the work twice.

you got the mishimoto radiator already? i'd say do that first and use the stock fans.. i've noticed a push fan isnt as effective as a puller, and the fan shroud helps too

I'm going to be but I have no room for a fan on the driver side, stock or after market.
