need pic of mounted Koyo, and question

Anyone have a picture of a Mounted Koyo radiator??
and one with the BUMPER off would be great.

And when mounted.. Do you/have your KOYO mounted
vertically?? or at an Angle like the stock??

Thanks.

It fits in the stock location. You won't find a pic with the bumper off, since it doesn't need to come off to install it, unless it is a pic of something like a FMIC that just happens to have a Koyo. But it goes right in where the stock one goes, but it sits up too high to have all the stock stuff in there correctly. I had to dremmel my engine bay to get it to lay farther down so my stock IC, Airbox, and battery could go in.

I getting a Koyo radiator along with my single turbo
conversion. and it occured to me..

Maybe the Radiator would work better if it was getting
full frontal of air instead of the radiator in an angle.

Has anyone experimented with this idea at all??

My guess is that if you mount the radiator vertical, there would be less flow over the entire radiator cause the mouth of the bumper would block the rest of the radaitor, now at the vertical postition air passes through the whole radiator. Unless you have a different bumper with the whole radiator exposed.
