You stole my idea! I am sort of, kinda looking to do the same.

Confirmed radiator was the issue lol
must’ve hit something during the trip that made the fan push into the rad at a funny angle.
ordered a new 14” curved blade pusher fan To replace the 16” straight blade pusher. The fan will now be able to fit in the opening of the core support without hitting the top or bottom of the support (the 16” fan shroud hits the top of the core support by like .5”)
here’s a different in core sizes
I have some hoses on the way that I’ll be trying to make work
-
That thing is quite thicc!
Don't brake too hard!Looks like it should have plenty of cooling capacity though. What hoses are you attempting?
Did the e36 hose have too much of a back bend to it? -

Did the e36 hose have too much of a back bend to it?Poly mounts will keep the engine from visiting the radiator.
The outlets on the rad are now like an inch further back in the bay which kind of makes the angles funky for off the shelf hoses. I’ve got a combo of e36 hoses and some other stuff that I’m going to be chopping up. This motor also has the 5 series thermostat housing which kind of changes things as well -
Pusher fan mounted using the SPAL mounts
sits close to flush with the rad.
have a few more things to tackle before this weekend’s HPDE.

Well turns out I must’ve cracked the tstat housing when reinstalling my VDO sender. So everything gets to come back apart.
Ended up co-driving the evo at the HPDE

Nooooo....F*******

Didn’t want to go through the hassle of drilling and tapping the 5 series tstat housing just to have it crack along the casting parting line so here we are. Bung welded to a new aluminum one

You said bung...

Rad outlet apparently was not circular enough, coolant all over the place. Going to see if mishimoto will warranty this POS. Another weekend shot in the ass and not driving my car at an event.

CSF FTW
They didn’t make a 3 row

I'd be pissed too, I was gonna comment about Mishimoto...for the price you pay the quality seems to be poor. Obviously... I'd try to get a full refund and give your money to a more quality company. GL Bud

Yea lesson learned. I dropped it off at a rad shop today to have them fix the outlet. We’ll see how long this one lasts.
