See this $170 aluminium radiator on ebay as a cheap replacement for the stock radiator. Size is 24" x 18.5" x 2.5". I have a FMIC with the stock 16" tall radiator installed in a verticle position, barely touching the intercooler tubes. Looks like the only way to install this is if there is additional space below for me to mount the radiator lower. I don't see any interference but looks like I may have to get rid of the undertray. Has anyone done this before?

 

The only way to find out is for you to stick a tape measure in where you want the 18.5" radiator to go and see if you have clearance.

 

Done that and it looks okay with the undertray removed. Just want to confirm if someone has actually done it.

 

Just a reminder that the under tray is very important in the order of helping air to get to the radiator and not just escaping out the bottom of the car. Very important. I wouldn't remove it unless you have the whole setup shrouded on the bottom at least.

 

you cant remove that
its like removing the fans or something
