regular koyo radiator or N flow with v mount ?

should I use the regular koyo radiator or the N flow kOYO with v mount install?


I am installing the hks v mount kit, the radiator/fans will sit very low , lower than the front lip with the koyo or Fluidyne.... should I keep my stock radiator?

if you convert a regular radiator to V-mount where the inlet and outlet are on the same side, it becomes a U-flow. dual pass.


I would convert a standard koyo or any brand into a V-mount and have a U flow, dual pass radiator.

Any single pass radiator will work. If you really want it to work well, you are going to need some ducting. ducting works so damn well, even crappy ducting is good.

I went with a standard Koyo for plumping purposes as well as the number of passes needed. As stated above, a single pass rad is normally converted to a U-pass for VMIC use. If this is not done you'll have to get creative with the lower rad hose and it will sit dangerously close to the ground. With an N-flow you won't be able to modify it to get the outlet on top and if you did you would have an unnecessary number of passes when complete. Ducting is key so think it through and mount it clean. This is a Koyo single pass converted, HH part number.
