Hey Al-I have installed a 3/8" bung for the temp sensor, installed a 3/4" bung for the heater return, customized brackets (all rubber mounts) and customized some hoses....I would probably have to have a lot of extra money. Say 122.50?

Seriously the rad is nice and looks like it belongs in the engine bay with the exception of the inlet hose being on the driver side.

haha, yea I loved that radiator, it worked very well. The driver side inlet just gives you the opportunity for some cool criss crossing in the engine bay! I didnt realize I'd be back into 7's so soon.....should have known. haha, I'm glad it has been serving you well, I've got my koyo coming in soon!

So I was looking at another fan thread and came across this http://www.dccontrol.com/fancontrol.htm

Seems like a pretty nice setup with sound engineering behind it. I thought the selection of a push in type probe was especially interesting.

I have a really modded FC(bridgeported,78MM turbo,big 3 inch intercooler,godspeed rad no under tray,stock fan and shroud.I tried the ford,mercury fan setup and my temps went up 2 around 210 cruising in town(microtech controlling the e-fan)swap the setup over 2 a 16 inch hayden high flow e-fan and the results were the same.Put back my 23 year old stock fan with the stock shroud and i dont see anything above 195 beating the **** out of the car at 19psi every single day,my car is putting down over 400 HP and it does not hot run at all with the stock fan so MAZDA did something good when they designed the cooling system 2 decades ago.

Hey were you using the high speed on the merc fan?

How do you like that godspeed radiator? Is it the two pass with the end tanks?
