Stock rad more vertical??

Is it any use to put the stock radiator more vertical after having put in an aftermarket intake or doesn't this affect the cooling capacity of the OEm radiator at all (even less??)

The radiator is moved vertically with a FMIC, not an intake.

sorry ok... but genereally speaking.. putting it more vertical is a good thing, no.

When waiting to put in a Koyo or Fluidyne?

Just a thought here..
Iw as searching Gotham Racing's website and found a remark on the Koyo rads. They had experienced problems with it when using a FMIC?

Anyone has some extra info on that?

Anything you can do to allow more air to pass through the radiator is a good thing.

As for problems with Koyo or Fluidyne and FMIC, its hit or miss. Some members have problems with cooling, some don't. Many make special ducting to make sure air doesn't escape around the radiator and that it is forced to pass through it.

I have a Fluidyne and a Blitz FMIC and a vented hood. My coolant temps never go beyond 88. People with my same set up have stated temps higher.
