Think this radiator will provide enough cooling?

As part of my pretty crazy build with an Evo III, I'm having to go smaller on the radiator in my car. Of course, a/c is getting removed to improve airflow and give me a little space, but I'm really gonna be pushed for space. The radiator I'm looking for ideally would be 26" long x 12.5" high x 1.75" thick, and nothing going beyond those measurements. Unfortunately, aside from getting something custom made there doesn't appear to be a lot out there. The only lead I've had on something that could possibly work is a radiator from a water-to-air intercooler setup:

At 1" thick, it's pretty thin but the question is: will it cool enough with fans on it and some ducting at the front to direct airflow as best I can?
 
very interesting, but I wouldn't trust it. Says it can hold 1200 hp on a $150 rad?? seems kinda fishy.. Mishimoto rad wont fit? look into those goofy honda slim rads, seems like everyone with high HP builds is switching to those
 
That radiator has a horrible design. Same side in/out.

Have you looked into seeing if a modified Scirocco radiator will fit?

On a 2g, it's short enough that it barely fits between the upper and lower radiator frames.

Majority of the Sciroccos are double-pass crossflow radiators, so will have inlets and outlets on the same side. Honda radiators are too thick, as are all the Scirocco ones I could find. Going for a custom made one from a company in Hong Kong. They seem pretty thorough and the price is very good so will report back on the quality.
