I just recieved my Koyo radiator and decided to install it. As I was installing it I noticed a couple of things that didn't really fit right. First, I had to install my two fans after the radiator was mounted in the car because it didn't fit when I tried to fit the radiator with the fans already on. The next thing I noticed was that the cruise control unit which is right next to the radiator is in the way of the fan on the driver side. So I had to cut into the fan. The second place that was in the way of mounting the drivers side fan was the front engine mount, so I cut a place for that also. Then the last thing that I noticed was that the A/C line was in the way of the passenger side fan, so I had to force it out of the way. Did anyone else notice these situations when installing their Koyo? Thanks

You sure it's a GT radiator and not an ST? They're a bit different...

No, if you ordered the right part, it should fit fine. Otherwise, they might have sent you a radiator for a different car. I'm pretty sure it's not for the ST becuz they DO NOT make Koyo Radiators for the ST models. Only GT models. Are you sure you didn't order from eBay? I garentee you they sent you a radiator for a different car. Find a part number on the radiator. Should be Part#R1958.

Ive got a KOYO on my ST205, its a very tight fit past the turbo with a 3" downpipe if keeping the stock fan setup and apart from that, like you say, just moving the AC pipe thats on a rubber mounted bush saw everything fit ok. No cruise control to contend with so no worries there and mine is an R1958.

If I have time I'll post some pictures. |
