Default Fluidyne radiators... IPS

I want to get a Fluidyne radiator, but what do I do about the other pipes and wires ? I noticed I have a pipe the runs through the middle of my stock radiator.

The only thing that I had to change on mine was the a/c fan...other than that it was direct bolt on. IM me if you have any questions.

You don't need to change the condenser fan. Just buy one of those zip-tie kits for mounting trans or oil coolers (V8 guys have 'em).. drill 4 small holes in the corners of the fan shroud and zip tie it on. I got a B&M Fastener kit for like $6.00, and it works great.
Only complaint is, I think the condenser fan sits awfully close to my header and I think over time the motor might burn up.

I'm considering heat wrap.

I Just used 2 11" Slimline fans from Fluidyne, Both fans came very close So I chose to replace both.

If I had the cash to spare, I would have replaced the fans. But I'm strapped for cash as is, especially with Christmas around the corner.

But for those who are wondering, I installed the Fluidyne w/ 60/40 coolant mix and a bottle of water wetter. The stock gauge doesn't show any difference at all, but the stock gauges aren't accurate worth a **** anyway.
The car takes a little longer to get up to operating temp.. but you can tell it's running cooler for sure.

Fluidyne

Anyone heard about Koyo? I heard they are awesome.

I have a fluidyne in my car as well. Car def runs cooler (I also have a FAL slimline HO fan)...and quieter, as the fan is barely audible when its running.

I've seen a Koyo as well. Looks near identical to my Fluidyne.
