No room for radiator with new top mount , any suggestions ?????
Ok I have a lsvtec turbo em1... I have had a ram horn Mani for a good while finally blew it out lol. Now I have the spa cast top mount ( I know don't ask) but I've been seeing them put out ok numbers around my area. I'm currently maching it up , got the ic pipes and oil lines ran . Just about have the dp finished and realized where in the hell is the radiator gonna fit??. I'm runnin 3in so hardly any room . I have a mishimoto half rad with slim fan already and the dp touches the fan. My question is has anyone used or found maybe a slightly skinny radiator?? , or could I put the fan in front of my radiator and reverse the flow??? Or I'm open to any suggestions . Never have ran into this issue before , I've searched a bit for some answers and found a radiator tuck but I'm not feeling 550 for a new radiator when I just paid for this mishimoto less than a year ago, any input is appreciated

There is plenty of room. I have one in my DC2 with clocking flange and that puts dp closer to radiator. I have a half core mishimoto radiator with zirgo 14" fan and everything fits. The dp touched the fan just barely. I have mine wrapped and it slightly melted the fan cover and now fitment is perfect lol

My SPA fits fine as well, but I fabricated my own downpipe. I have a fluidyne dual core rad and a FAL slim fan as well.
