Just got my new rad in from KO speed ko speed KOspeed and gotta say its a high quality LOOKING piece. Problem is, it has these stubs that make the oem fans sit even closer to the mani and turbo. Thats a pain.
Then theres the leaky drain gasket. As soon as the temp hit about 160 (read through link) small drips started coming out of the drain plug. Gotta repair that.
The fans: Ok, im not an expert but they look very nice and come with ALL the mounting brackets plus extras. Very nice touch.
Cost through ebay was about 130 i think. Not too bad but that said, i now have to repair 2 things, this is not plug n play. I have to trim my pass fan shroud even more now and repair the gasket. Not acceptable my any means but this isnt a mishimoto. Temp outside is 80* and it keeps the temps well under control. Seems more efficient than the stock.
GL and i give it 7 out of 10
Edit: I have a few miles on it. Still no problems. 100* ambient temps yesterday, ac on idled for quite a bit just to see if itd pass 213, it didnt. I am going to do this mod though: http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/art...it-where-you-thought-only-slim-fan-could.html
My ac fan is pretty much useless as it sits so far off the rad. Highest temps i saw were 219 during 3rd gear pull.
