Does anyone know if you have to get a new radiator with the Invidia header? I heard that you do, but I am not sure. Any help is appreciated! Thank you in advance!

 

To be clear, we don't use a header, but I didn't even know Invidia had an aftermarket exhaust manifold for the Evo's stock turbo. Do you have a pic of one? I haven't seen anyone use or test one yet.

 

Yes this product does require an aftermarket radiator.

Thank you GNV for answering my question and not being a jerk. It is designed to be used on the stock turbo correct?

 

From my understanding yes. Also i sent you a PM .

My mapper will test invidia / full race / tomei to be used in a race car.
It probably wont happen for another 2-3 weeks.

I probably wont be able to get dyno sheets unless I am there when they test (I unfortunately have to work during the week), but I will post which one they will keep

For those who havent seen invidia, its a ram horn style. its lighter than FR

 

I have the invidia header that I recently Installed into my evo 9. Ran into a problem with the radiator hose touching the new manifold. There are three options here. 1 You can either order and aftermarket Radiator. 2 you can keep the same hose on there and wrap it with heat wrap. Heat wrap is cheap and can withstand high temps. Wrap The heat wrap around the radiator hose where the Invidia head touches. In this situation its good to buy extra heat wrap ( cheap) in case you ever find your self with old worn out heat wrap. 3, make a custom hard pipe radiator line that makes a very swift 90 degree turn so that it has clearance from the header. I went to a hardware store and found a almost perfect design for the radiator hose (Hard Pipe). It was a little long so ended up cutting the excess length off and attached the soft radiator line with clamps to the new hard pipe. so half the line is hard pipe and the other half is the regular rubber hose. This way it wont effect the hard pipe and the soft line can flex to fit perfectly in the slot. Im pulling about 25 HP out of the invidia header and its worth every single cent i paid for it. Awesome header. Just remember that when ordering aftermarket parts your gonna run into **** like this. Be creative , that was all my idea and I hope this helps people with any questions the have. Ill repost some pictures soon of how my setup is. Shoot me a message if you need any further advice with the invidia header and stock radiator
