I dont have a koyo to weight it against, but ill try to track one day.

the main goal of this rad was to move the neck outlet away from the manifold and provide superior cooling to stock!

cheers!

(dudical, when are u ordering one

Great info, I think I'll be calling soon to buy a fan from you.
Just one more weight question. Was the fan controller still on the stock rad/fan when you measured the difference. I'm not sure exactly but I would think the fan controller weighs around a lb.

it goes on the threaded bolt hole on the inside of the driver's frame rail for the boost controller..

we normally cut the stock fan connector off, or we can put push on clips on..

That sounds like a lot of work. You might have better luck just trying to find out who makes the connector and seeing if you can source them.

Does the top hose relocation work with a stock intake?

Since the stock fan setup is two fans - one for when the AC is running - how did you wire in the logic for a single fan?

Certainly looks like a great product. Turbos generate heat, lots of heat, so being able to remove it efficiently with a thin radiator is amazing.

Thanks for the wrtie up.

It will work with the stock intake, BUT you cannot use the stock snorkel to the air box... unless you make a hole in it for the radiator cap ;(

The stock push fan is on the ac condenser that stays in its place.

the evo radiator from the factory only has one pull style fan... ours uses a slimline fan, that hooks into the factory fan module.

I have one left here on a dealio that fell through this morning...

It could ship today.
