I installed it the other day and love it. No over heating problems and on top of that my car runs a little bit cooler too. The only bad thing is i i had to chop a hole in my cf hood.

 

what is supporting the top of it? I made a lil bracket out of aluminum to hold mine

 

hmmm poor hood my Oem radiator works perfectly fine and it is cool it sits at 1/4 of the temp

 

yo that hood looks like sh$t! but ather wise nice work

 

what a shame

 

how did you make the bracket?

i think he's tlakin to me, i'll take a pic and show you.....

 

Thanks i knew it was atleast one person in here that had some sense.

 

well my sis' camera is out of batteries, so i'll explain it. I took some aluminum and bent it and kept test fitin it, then drilled out a big hole to go over the **** atop the eg rad. then drilled a hole big enough for a bolt to go through the alumin and the lil hole almost right in front of the **** on the eg rad, then bend it just right, and it'll fit perfect, holds it tight. And u could of just leaned your rad. back a lil bit instead of cuttin the hood up, but a lil late for that

 

Why not patch up that hole into a 5 sided cube to add the strength back to that area?

Would only take 10 minutes of labor with some fiberglass.

 

Thanks and my fan would not allow me to lean my radiator back. My fan was melted on the edge because of the header. Its really cramped

 

How would i do this and the reason there is a hole is so my hood will close.

 

i had to trim my fan a lil bit to make it fit, but i am gonna get a slim fan soon anyway

lol, I know that's the reason.

I said fill that hole in as a 5 side box/cube.

Take some fiberglass mat and some resin and fill in the gaps between the top of the hood and the support area. You can still leave the 'hole' that the radiator cap fits in.

 

lets hope you have some hood pins--that big hole by your latch looks scary

 

Thanks everyone and yes i do have hood pins i will try that fiberglass and resin thing thanks.
