Is is possible to put a rad from a 5/6 in my 8. I want to do this b/c the outlet is straight across instead of the S-bend, as i have a tube exh. manifold. Thanks. and i know i can get the mishimoto one for a little under $300. looking for a bit smaller price tag...

 

yes it will fit - just the top hose is different like you said.

mounts and lower hose all lines up.

 

You will also need to make a mounting bracket for the stock fan or just get a slim fan.

 

that shouldnt be that hard, i dont wanna have to get a slim fan.

 

i have a evo 6 koyo rad in my car and it fits perfect its a little thicker but it holds a lot more coolant then the oem rad

 

it bolts right in no problem. all you will need is a newer top hose. i got my mishimoto evo 4/5/6 radiator for a little over $200. cant beat that

 

I thought the Evo 7,8, and 9 had the radiator hose located to the center of the radiator to make better use of the radiator.

 

I run a mishimoto half size radiator in my car. Technically its for a 2000 Honda Civic Si but I hade the lower hole moved over just a bit to clear the front engine mount. The top lines up perfectly so you can run a straight hose with no modification there and be good for a front facing turbo setup!

 

Mishimoto Evo 4,5,6 radiatotr, a set of Ebay Autoban88 Evo6 blue radiatior hose & a slim fan works juz fine for my customised top mount setup.

 

Nice top mount! I need a custom heat sheild box like that for my intake!

 

riceball777 are you to runnning the same rad as motoxxx ? they look alittle diffrent how long have you had yours ? i dont see the writing on the top of yours just wondering if its a early version.

 

My reasoning for wanting to modify a evo 4/5/6 lower radiator outlet to the pass side as much as possible. You got the inlet on the top of one corner, and the outlet on the bottom of the opposite end.

 

doesnt matter where inlet and outlets are on tanks. that has nothing to do with efficiency.
the 8 is the way it is to clear the plastic cold air intake which cannot be used with 4-6 radiators.

 

CBRD Speed Factory also makes rad's with the outlets in the same spot as the 4,5,6...

 

Yeap, should work perfect. I have that too. Works wonders, just make sure yu purchase the 6 hoses, NOT the 8s.
