Yeah, that stock radiator is a little worn and small, plus the fans may not be enough with the FMIC in AZ heat.

Just landed a full Mishimoto sponsorship for the built, they just want a lil cread since they supplied the rad, fmic, oil cooler, oil catch can, and fans oh and hoses. But it looks like you guys kept the oem rad, Tech2 recommended I use the one from a MkIV supra, for cooling purposes, have anyone heard of that before, i figured my koyo for the 13b was sufficient since the 13b runs so much hotter. anyone?

koyo 13b rad should be fine. if i had the room for it thats what id be doing, but im going to have to put an s13 ka24 or r32 skyline rad since there much shorter and have both rad hoses on the passenger side, same as the s4 stock rad.

Yeah bruhhhhhh!!!! I live on Oahu, Kaneohe side, right off of Kahakili, you know the temple valley area? I was reading about you moving back and i was telling my self that you should ship the fc, only 1000, i dont think i could part ways. Especially since they're are building new race tracks on Sand Island, Drag, Drift, And Time Attack.
Hope to see you around when you return. I cant wait to get back myself, I'm in Japan right now.

at this point its lookin like an 80% chance ill be keepin the FC, pretty much the only way ill part with it is if I get a clean 1st gen celica coupe + cash for trade cause i really want one to do a 4ag 20v swap on one. love that itb sound

with the existence of more modern engines it really doesnt make sense to swap the 1g. A 1J can handle ALOT more power and is overall a much better engine seeing as it replaced the 1G and was designed a full decade later. one toyota swap i really want to see in a 7 is a 1uz, possibly supercharged .
