It interferes with where the lower charge piping would exit the compressor housing.
I think you could get it to fit if you had a hard 90* elbow welded onto the exit instead of the Wiggins outlet I have, but it would still be darn close with a thicker rad. My Koyo is their newer "V" core which is 50mm.
My 12" FAL puller was hitting its shroud against the compressor housing of the 7163, but I think if you used a SPAL puller without the bulky shroud it would fit. No chance a factory fan will fit.
You are correct, an Evo 6 rad is needed, but my issue was with the thickness of the rad.
I'm going to have Origin make me a 1" (25mm) rad which will alleviate the issues with both the compressor outlet and fan shroud.

As for the turbo-related parts, if there is interest they can definitely reproduce what I have. I know one other person has already expressed some interest.
You still enjoying the O2 eliminator dp?

Yes, the slim radiator for sure they are going to try and make some production units if the interest is there. I personally think that item will be attractive for a lot of people on here as well.

Yea... except for a blown headgasket as of 2 weeks ago.
I do wish it was made to account for the angle of the turbine housing exit though. I think that would have prevented it from being sooooo close to the LICP coupler off the j-pipe.

Anyone know what the deal is with getting a EFR7163
I ordered a kit from CBRD 6 months ago and still don't have it
said they are still waiting on turbo's. 6 months seems alittle long
For a back order

I ordered mine from Defined Performance and it came to me 3 days later. I could have just got lucky and got the last one or something, but who knows.

Full-Race had 7163s in stock when I ordered mine at the very beginning of the year. Not sure about now though.

Just wanted to share that my Origin slim radiator came out well, a rad like this helps a TON to fit the hotside pipe and a fan. Now onto the rest of the charge piping and the downpipe

If Origin manufactures more of these radiators I would buy one.

They will definitely make more if you want one - I'll probably make a separate thread in a few weeks to gauge interest to see if they can do a batch soon. You can shoot me a PM if you're crazy interested right now too and I can direct you to the right people.

I have no legitimate data to back it up, but I doubt it given the rad is not that heavy, the welds are stout and I don't see the rad really being stressed much.
We are trying this on my car only because it cleans up the top of the rad and generally looks nice.

I would strongly suggest incorporating rubber mounting isolators of some sort. Radiators are relatively delicate and susceptible to vibrations. Even if the Rad doesn't fail that tab looks pretty thin and will likely break off at the bend I'd think. Don't forget about the additional weight and heat from coolant flowing through it. But assuming this won't see many miles it may not matter but if you drive it a lot I think it would fail within a few years.
