Question Coolant system capacity? - With Koyo Rad? (Going w/ Evans)

I am going with Evans Coolant...and need to know how much of this stuff to buy.

Standard capacity for a turbo is listed at 9.3 quarts. Just wondering how much more capacity the Koyo adds to it.

So, four quarts per gallon gives me a little over two gallons of the stuff.

Maybe by 3 or 4 gallons?

Id say get 4, but I think capacity would be around 3.5 gal.

On the bright side I found a website that is offering 7 buck flat rate ups ground shipping

That should help a little bit.

Brand new rebuild...

Always like the idea behind it....

So, figured what the heck Already spent so much money on it whats a little more.

But the mods are BNR 3 , Greddy Vspec, streetported, Koyo rad, and a haltech.

However, the big front mount infront was one reason.

Just a drag race, autox, street car.
