Koyo Radiator Install How-To With Pictures
Here's the link to the radiator install how-to that I used as a reference when I installed my Koyo. This link talks about the SR radiator which I am sure is actually a Koyo.

Look, from my experience, all of the talk about the fitment problems with the Koyo is overblown and probably scares some people away from the Koyo. However, with that said, I did find the need to do a number of "trial" fittings and removal of the radiator to identify areas of interference and perform some basic bending and grinding to eliminate the interference. The link above does not discuss any fitment issues. I believe that fitment issues are going to vary from car to car, so don't expect to see a list of fitment problems and solutions.
Just go into this with your eyes open. Get the front of the car up on jack stands so you can inspect for interference from both above and below. Allow for the additional time required for the "trial" fittings. Have the required tools handy for some minor bending and grinding. I'm satisfied with the Koyo and it is still my radiator of choice.
