Aftermarket rad +stock fan
Hey guys, I know that the mishimoto evo 7/8/9 radiator allows for the stock 8 fan to be used and have read in some places that the koyo (48mm “HH” core) rad allows for it. Can anybody confirm if the koyo fits the stock fan or let me know if any other fans, in that price range, can retain the stock fan. Thanks a bunch!
Update: "I went with the mishimoto rad and used my stock fan/shroud. Was skeptical whether it would fit or not for a few reasons. I have a 9 turbo with the larger FP 84mm cover which sat already less than an inch from the shroud and my custom intake was already resting against the fan control module. After a test fit I was able to fit everything by 1) grinding about 1/4+ off the shroud and 2) removing one of the fan control module bolts and swinging it downwards. Also the stock upper IC elbow took some tweaking and is a bit close to the fan blades but shouldn't be an issue "

Hey, Haste makes a full Triple Core Radiator for cheaper than Mishimoto. I had to go with an aftermarket fan, I believe it is a Mishimoto thin fan on the inside of the radiator between it and the turbo. Any after market fan can run on the stock fan control. You just have to hard wire it in. I spliced mine into the stock wire harness and have had seamless/flawless fan control.

I have the Koyorad radiator, and it fits no problem on my evo ix, and the stock fan bolts right on just like on the stock radiator. Clearance is fine, although it's a thicker radiator, there is slightly less clearance but it fits fine on the stock turbo, but I can't speak for other turbo setups. It's definitely a nice quality radiator and it's probably more efficient than stock. I'm happy with it.
The top screws that hold the overflow line hangers have a different thread than stock, so you just need to buy 2 small bolts.

Thanks for that info. I went with the mishimoto rad and used my stock fan/shroud. Was skeptical whether it would fit or not for a few reasons.
