Before I answer your question.. Inquiring minds want to know.. Do you plan on installing a 3rd rad in a 2nd gen?

3rd radiator? no, 3rd gen radiator, the thought crossed my mind.

FYI, the first radiator is the A/C condensor(in my case long gone), 2nd is the coolant radiator(in my case, currently leaking)

I've learned never to assume but the enlightenment is refreshing
Like RotaryWeaponSE7EN said you might as well upgrade to koyo or Fluidyne.

just get the Koyo.

The only useful part of the FD's cooling system that i would recommend is the two speed fan. Getting that installed on the FC as well as getting it to work properly is another story.

But he'll save like 10 lbs., guys. That's easily worth having your engine overheat.
