Buschur 3/4" Width Fluidyne Radiator Kit ***GROUP BUY***
Mods: I didn't know where to put this since it isn't a For Sale thread. Please relocate it if this is incorrect.
For those of you who wanted one of these and couldn't/didn't buy one when they were available, David Buschur is kind enough to make another batch for us. These are great pieces, fluidyne radiators narrow enough to allow us stock turbo placement guys to have a forward facing air intake inlet. These will keep your car cool while road racing, auto crossing, or daily driving. No need to go half width or be forced to stick with full size radiators. Here are the words of David describing the product:
This is a bolt in 3/4-width radiator custom built for us by Fluidyne. The radiator uses a slim line Spal fan and opens up the grill to get your inlet for your turbo facing the front of the car.
The cooling capabilities of this radiator should be better than stock. We've removed about 4" from the driver’s side to make room for the air filter. This kit requires the removal of the air conditioning condenser for it to work, otherwise you will not get the air to the filter as it's designed to do. This will also help with cooling as the radiator gets full direct air rather than it being passed through the condenser first, huge difference in cooling. The radiator can be used without removal of anything (except the stock fan) but would defeat the purpose of the forward facing inlet for the stock turbo.
While putting this kit together I had to make an option to not run the forward facing inlet, this would be in the case of heavy rain/snow etc. So I built a two piece inlet pipe that doubles as a "short ram" and the turbo inlet pipe can be taken apart quickly and the filter placed on the short tube. This gets the filter out of the grill opening and out of water/snow etc. The MAF pipe is 3" stainless steel and on this car is a brushed finish. We will offer them brushed, powder coated or polished.
This kit can be used with the stock MAF BUT there is no way to face it forward. You would simply get the air from the front of the car being forced onto the side of the filter/MAF assembly.
This is a bolt in ordeal with the exception of the drivers side upper radiator mount. You have to trim the two small locating tabs off of it and then drill a new 5/16" hole in the upper core support to pass a bolt/nut through to mount the radiator. As you will see in the picture, it looks stock when it's done.

Pricing has yet to be verified but I have it from the old thread: <- THIS MAY CHANGE, I AM AWAITING VERIFICATION FROM BUSCHUR RACING
The radiator with the fan, it comes mounted to the radiator, is $640.
The turbo inlet pipe with the filter and all couplings is $249.
We are also going to offer the turbo inlet pipe and filter minus the transition coupling at the turbo because many of you guys have that coupling already with other 3" inlets. That price is $219.
This used to be advertised as a kit for $860, this is a steal considering the benefits. So for right now, lets assume it is $860. The more people we get, the cheaper it will be...

For those of you who can't see paying this much, do the math.
To replicate a similar setup with a full-size KOYO radiator, 12" FAL fan, and SD intake you will spend around $675+ without the quality of a Fluidyne or the benefit of weight loss and colder air temps.
FYI These prices were taken off one of the lowest priced websites out there and includes $5 shipping.
