Fluidyne install w/PFS SMIC
 
I seem to recall a question regarding the use of a Peter Farrel stock mount intercooler with an aftermarket radiator. For the record, I just installed a Fluidyne with my PFS intercooler, and the IC duct just fits with the inrceased thickness of the Fluidyne. It's tight, but it does work. For those considering a Koyo rad (which is thicker thant the Fluidyne), I'm certain the duct will not fit.

Also, if you buy a Fluidyne, make sure you remove the drain plug and apply teflon tape to the threads and reinstall. I put it all together, only to have it leak, and it turned out to be from the drain threads.

Koyo w/ PFS SMIC
 
gcthree,
There was no problem fitting the Koyo radiator with my PFS SMIC!

Just letting those who were wondering know!

I just installed my PFS IC duct with Fluidyne rad.. I also notice the same thing as "gcthree".. It fits fine.. But the radiator is also leaking.. i tried to tighten the thread.. but still leaking.. I have to empty and put teflon tape.. Thanks!!

Far as Koyo.. I just can't seem to see how the duct is going to fit... Raysane, can you post a pic for us?? and how you fitted??
