Compare a Koyo radiator which is over 2.5 inches thick that can't even remove as much heat as a 1.5" ARC radiator. If you don't believe me....ask AEM.

Well I finally got the unit completely installed this evening and man does it look sick!!! I will post pics asap as I forgot my camera in my friend's purse this past weekend! DOH.
Also as a warning even if you know how to read Japanese the ARC instructions are so horrible that it doesn't really matter. It basically had a diagram which helped a bit, but the instructions basically said..."look at the diagram we provided and figure it out"

However, just from a quick observation I would say most intercoolers would be too large (especially a Greddy) and one would probably have to custom fabricate brackets and what not to make it work, which would kind of defeat the purpose of paying top dollar for a vehicle specific Oil cooler to only have to turn around and fabricate new stuff for it.
