Hi all,

This weekend i was doing some work on my car when i accidentally punctured the radiator. I figured this would be a good time to get an aftermarket one (i road race a lot) since i have to replace it and the factory ones are ~$700...

I have an AMS 3076 kit sitting here that is yet to be installed though and i began to think about clearance issues. Will the koyo or PWR radiator have enough clearance with that turbo kit?

It's for a 2006 Evo MR, btw.

I have to get this fixed as i'm going to the track in 2 weekends and need to get the car back up and running

Thanks.

 

The Buschur half-size is always a safe bet.

 

Actually, that wouldn't work as i do a lot or road racing and cutting the radiator size down wouldn't help with that at all...

 

I have RRE GT3076 with Koyo radiator and I still have a lot of clearance. Unless your header is within 1 inch of the radiator, i think it should be fine. If you want to, I can take pictures.

 

I forgot to say that I have a slim fan on the inside, though. Maybe that's a solution that you need.

 

Actually, yeah, some pictures would really help me out. I need to get this fixed asap..

I do have a slim-line fan that comes with the ams kit (which i haven't installed), but i just want to make sure the actual turbo or wastegate outlet won't hit it somewhere whenever I install it..

Thanks

 

Actually, this could be your solution:

A picture of an AMS car with a GT42 turbo in it. Look at the right bottom corner:

how about calling ams

 

That's a drag car though and i'm building a road race car. My car will require much more radiator than that..

 

I would if they were open. And being that they are vendors, i'd like to get some customers views as well. Belive me though, i will be calling them as soon as they open tomorrow..

 

did you ever get resolution on this one?

 

i'm fairly sure that the normal ams kit has pleanity of room for aftermarket larger radiators

i know for a fact that buschur kits dont have room for thicker radiators and can only be race with a stock radiator because the tial 44mm is in the way.

i think only buschur kits have this problem. and of course kits with gt42r turbos

 

I ended up going with the Koyo as AMS confirmed that it will work without interference. I still haven't gotten around to installing the turbo kit yet though.
