RNR manifold and Koyo?

is anyone running an RNR mani with the koyo rad? and do you have adequate clearance?

Yeah, my Buddy has that exact same manifold. I will have to check and see what rad he is using.

Im wondering the same thing. The koyo is a lot thicker than the stocker. It would be a tight fit.

RNR Manifold

I had the same question to Ryan when I ordered his 37R kit.
He wasnt sure at the time. Well guys, I am here to let you know that there is no issues with the clearance. I have the Koyo radiator and the RNR full 37R turbo kit and it fits like factory. I was very nervous about it not working but it does. It actually fits better than my previous turbo kit which was the Greddy 25G. This kit fits very good. Ryans manifold is gorgeous. It fits perfect.
You can buy it with no worries. I will be happy to send pictures if you want.

Yes please post pics up on this thread so people can see them. I want to see how close the wastegate it to the radiator. Im afraid when the motor torques it will hit it.

I will try to post some up for you guys.
No worries, you have plenty of space between the waste gate & the radiator. No issues at all.

Well I went ahead and put it (koyo) on last night and the neck on the koyo sticks out to far and I couldnt get the metal water pipe on. So I took a sawsall and cut about half of an inch off and it clears perfectly. So now Im running it. Very nice radiator i must say.

BTW I have the RNR 35r with .82 exhaust housing. It was a tight fit but it cleared.

That would be perfect then you could just run a straight pipe to the t stat housing. I would love to do that but I dont know how to weld alum.

I dont like that 90 degree bend in the pipe and it is still really close to the manifold.

i have u covered...we have a very good radiator building that does our liquid air stuff, and the rads for some of the race cars....

keep in touch....

ill see how quickly i can get it done... would probably be around the price of a koyo-PWR with delphi or Visteon core.
