Radiator Question

Don't have the time to search thoroughly for the answer, but will the OBX Radiator hoses for the Lancer fit with the Aftermarket EVO Radiators or am I still gonna have to get EVO hoses and just cut em to fit?

The necks on the Evo radiator are positioned the same as the Lancer radiator. You will still use Lancer radiator hoses with either radiator.

The radiator install went through without a hitch, but I Couldn't install my oem fan, it was too big and the bolt pattern didn't match. With that said, will an aftermarket fan for an EVO plug into the oem harness of a lancer?

You should look into picking up some slim fans to install. They can be wired in using the stock Lancer fan harness. Aftermarket fan assemblies for the Evo should work as well, but may require some custom wiring if they don't have the harness connectors.

N/M, answered my own question...inside diameter of 32mm, outside of 38mm. So I went with a 34mm gauge sending unit adapter. eBay JDM special.
