I installed my Koyo last night, I tried to flip the rad bracket and even took out the a/c condensor bracket on the passenger side to try to fit the rad, but it's still not sitting probably, the rad is touching the rad bracket on the car, cannot go any lower, I'm not able to put back the stock air box, battery and the intercooler in place. any advise?

Thanks

It'll fit. You don't have to flip the brackets... Just make the mounting hole (on the bracket) long so you can adjust the fitment. Damn I wish I had pics....

WAIT! I do! I'll get them when I get off work.

make sure the rubber feet are sitting all the way down into the mounts...this gave me about 1-2cm....

even after all that...the intercooler and stuff fit TIGHT...

in what why do you mean it is not sitting properly? Where is it not clearing?

Thanks for the quick reply, the leg did sit probably at the 1st place, but when i tighten up the screw, it pulls front about 1/4 inch, don't know why..... the top of the rad is touching the car. may be i should take a pic to show you guys later

Hell yeah they do... My fans rubbed the first time they kicked on... Scared the **** out of me! Had to do a little tweaking.

Promax....

you can try to machine out the bracket and make the U portion alittle bit longer so that it won't pull up when you tighten it....

and you may need to trim the fan shroud a bit so they don't rub when they turn on. I had to bend my brackets a bit to get it all to work, even then it was tight. The koyo is a massive rad in relation to the stocker

Here is what I did to get the Koyo radiator to fit in the stock location, without flipping the brackets. Fairly simple. Filed the hole approx 2 1/2 times its size in length to allow adjusting. Now all you do is slide the bracket UP, and the rad sits DOWN. The opening above the mounting screw is the original hole. I've had NO problems with fitment.



Hope that helps a little!
