Koyo radiator w/ PFS Intercooler

I recently upgraded my stock radiator to a Koyo. My car also has the PFS Intercooler.

While at the local road course either ther intercooler intake ducting shorted out the fan wires causing them to melt or the pressure the intercooer intake duct was putting on the fans caused the structure to collapse.

Either way, both fans fell into the radiator preventing them from doing there job.

I've heard that there is a way to lower the radiator & a/c condensor to reduce the pressure the ic intake is putting on the fans.

Anyone?

Thanks,
Bob

You should be able to reverse the brackets on the Koyo to have it sit lower.

Today I was finally in town long enough to tear apart the car. From what my brackets look like, reversing them would actually raise the radiator.

I'm thinking about cutting the rubber bushings where the top of the radiator mounts to the car in 1/2. I think that would lower it about a 1/4".
