I just got my kit put in, i will be getting my car back on wednesday of next week, supposedly everything is running good but thats not my problem, my question is that the shop i bought the stuff from said i couldnt pit the koyo radiator i wanted to purchase b/c of some piping and that it would push the stock fans too far back, so my question is how do i go about purchasing and putting in an aftermarket radiator, where can i buy like slimmer fans or something to work with my car, i really do think a bigger radiator is necessary b/c i will be racing on the track, so if anyone could help that would be great, I have installed in the car besides the kit, a stillen oil cooler kit, one step colder spark plugs, and i ordered the nismo lower thermostat kit, i would have ordered the radiator but they said it wouldnt fit, anyone have this problem and found a way around it, i Heard of fans that push that go in from of the radiator but no details, any info would be great thanx a million guys.

 

I haven't seen this firsthand, but I've read some folks here that said they had to trim the actual fan blades so it would fit with either a TT or SC kit. I have no idea how this kit will fit with the afterarket radiators, and I'm interested in learning this myself.

 

hey 350zbiturbo, did you get it installed at japtrix?

 

yea its actually still there, they said everything went good at japtrix, the only problem was i had to buy stock headers from a local over there in lakeworth b/c my topspeed headers couldnt fit the kit, so if anyone wants top speed headers tell me im selling now, but i pick up the car on wednesday, those guys are awesome they call me everyday once or twice and report about how its goin, only prob i have is i really wanted the radiator too but w/e, i have to see bout this trimming down thing of the fans, i guess only way to make it work is custom big time, looks like im gonna order the radiator and hpefully someone will give me an answer on this problem

 

hey did they put your exhaust on with any modifications? I always liked the injen and how it looked. I have the borla but it requires bending and costs too much for me now.

 

well he asked me if i wanted to modify my injen b/c i really do love the exhaust but i figured that later in the future i would never be able to sell the exhaust b/c it would be too such a limited amount of people i just had him put the stock exhaust on there, and i ordered a jic single titanium catback but for the time being im running the stock exhaust, i love my injen though the look of it is what gets me everytime but sorry no modifications id rather just sell it the the good condition it is now then tear it up and lose money on it later you know, i guess no one has figured out anything on the radiator huh?

 

a friend of mine was at japtrix today and said your car looks incredible. just wanted to pass along the compliment.

 

Hey Cris, well since you wont be able to see it until Wednesday here is a shot of her plus a shot of the area in question.

 

I have the PE radiator and the blades and shroud did not have to be trimmed. It cost about $250 more than the koyo, but that is about how much a shop will charge you for the labor involved to get the koyo to work. It the end both radiators will cost about the same, but no modification is needed for the PE.

 

thanx so much for the compliment, really makes e feel like i did something right, and by the way westpak thanx, so much man the kit looks so amazing with my plenum and stuff, i dont think i can wait till wednesday, i just was so tired and got the biggest smile put on my face lol, thanx again and boy is that close, i guess im gonna check out the PE radiator then b/c i really think its a necessity for the , i got the stillen oil cooler but def gonna buy the PE like this week coming up, not waiting thanx guys youve been awesome, ill only be able to have my car for like 5 days though bc i think im gonna drop it off at the body shop this week comin up, got hurricane damage that HAS to be taken care of b4 the show.

 

I have the koyo with my TN kit and had no problem with it they just had to trim the shrouds a little bit but fit great!

 

Wld350Z did a Mod just to get a Koyo in a N/A car - Get out the Dremel..

10 Minute job

Cheers Amy -

 

If you are looking to get a custom rad give ron-davis racing radiators a call..All you will need are the dimensions you want and were you need the water outlets...The made me one for my mustang and it cost me less than a factory replacement one...

 

To get the Koyo to fit on my G35 with APS TT my shop had to trip the blades and the shroud. Its a very tight fit now, but no signs of rubbing or unbalanced fans.

 

Good info. Anyone have a pic of the clearance on either the PE radiator or a trimmed Koyo radiator?

By the way, 350zbiturbo, you still have your test pipes in your sig.

And, are you running the TS headers with the kit now?

 

PE in G35.

 

It wouldn't seem the APS pipes would interfere with the radiator install, but not possitive without one in front of me.

 

Both FMIC pipes get in the way.

 

Will the Crawford STB fit on your car with the TNetics kit installed?

 

Pretty sure it will not. It comes forward right where the BoV is sitting.

Gman - thanks for the shot of the radiator. Looks like it might have enough room in there for the tn piping, it would still be a very tight squeeze though.
