Koyo Radiator With Pfs Smic?

Anyone running this? I tried to search, but could not find any exact YES IT WORKS, or NO IT DOESN'T. Please let me know if it will work, and if so what did you do to make it work? Please let me know!

Thanks in advance!

Ravi

I had to trim the duct by an inch. Very tight fit between the top of the rad and cross brace where the duct goes into.

didnt like it so i went with FMIC.

You need to trim it at the frame side a bit. Just see where it rubs or doesnt want to go deepwe and cut the ducting away a bit.

Sorry, no pics unless I pull it out.

okay, thanks for the input, was this with the radiator and the ac condensor touching each other? Was the radiator at the lowest position? (ie. cutting the passenger side front bracket for the ac condensor?

The upper mounting brackets were reversed so the Koyo sits lower, but no cutting was required for the condensor brackets.
