B16 EF with a FULL radiator??
Do any of you ef guys out there have turbo setups with the stock rads?? I am putting on my kit next week and i want to know if i can get away with using it. If you can't use a full rad, I can get a eg half sized correct?

yes you could use your full size but you would need to have the manifold made for a full size rad. It tucks the turbo close to the block, there is not alot of room so i would say your better of getting the half size...

Most people just slap a manifold together with no regards for space restrictions. The EG rad can go in, but you still have issues, esp if it is an AC-compatable manifold. I'm going to shoehorn a teggy rad in soon, since my car tends to start overheating when I stop. It may be the bad HG or the fan blades needing to be reversed (still blowing towards rad), but I want a bit more capacity since I have AC.
