Picked up a dual core 1g Talon radiator..
Man its tighter then I had hoped..
Sits REAL close to exhaust the only points of contact are the insulation..



Probably be alright with all the insulation and being a dual core plus my hood is vented.. I also moved the radiator over to the passenger side 1/2"..


Looks sweet..

looks pretty good. id imagine it will be ok. I would just keep a close eye on it once its running. A friend of mine turbocharged his 240sx and the turbo sat too close to the brake lines off the master cylinder and made the brake fluid boil. he had the turbo wrapped up too.

one other thing, I think we have the same color valve cover, lol.

How did you move it over 1/2 inch?

Simple! I drilled a hole large enough for the driver side radiator peg to slip into:

Then I punched a hole into a thin rubber mat as a insulator for that side.
TOP BRACKETS STILL LINES UP.
that's it! :thumbsup
