Custom 5 core radiator.

you don't have a vj23 in front of your motor. Honduh radiator won't work. Trust mr. This is the biggest radiator you can get in here with the setup I am running. And the fan is a Mr. Gasket slimline electric.

hmm. would you be able to fit another fan in the front as a pusher? prolly not enough space..

No, you're right, I don't have the turbo hangin off the front of my engine. I do have a header that seems to take a little more space than a stock manifold. Your radiator looks great. I was just mentioning the radiator I used as other options, mostly I guess for other engines. My radiator is too tall to fit between the core support and the top cross piece, as yours does. But, it's also a narrow unit, in the order of 1" narrower than a stock Festiva unit. If I could figure out how to post a picture, I would show my install.

There are other alternatives in radiators. I used an aluminum race radiator, originally designed for a Honda Civic, '92-'98 or something. The outfit I bought it from "Full Throttle Racing" have several 400hp+ car running on them, daily driven, weekend raced without any problems. The cost was great $180 for the basic unit, $50 to move the outlet neck to the side of the tank, plus tax. I went in at lunch to order it and picked it up by 5:30 that afternoon. I've run two full days of rallies on it so far with a BP engine, no problems at all, rairly gets over 200°, typically stays at 185°. the only time I turn the fan on is waiting at stop signs and stop lights.

You wrote there are other alternitives. On my application there was not.
No, don't get me wrong, if you could fit a radiator in there like stock ...............go for it. But I couldn't. I also have the G25M-R trans axle which takes up more space than your stock tranny. I looked all over, and this was the only option I could come up with.

Here's my aluminum radiator installed. I completely see your point for your application. Just wanted to show other options for other installs.
