I'm having real clearance issues with both my I/C piping and turbo, to the point that I'm looking at trying a Civic Radiator.
Now I have read the existing threads and ascertained that a 2.5" core with a 14" SPAL fan works well. At the end of the day I don't know how much power the car will make but potentially let's assume 400-500 hp. I need to retain the A/C so I will have a condenser in front of this and I live in a tropical climate (think 38 degrees ambient at the height of summer!!!)
Am I going to be pushing my luck as well as a load of coolant if I go with a half sized radiator? I do not doubt the efficiency of these units, nor do I believe everything I read on "tooners" but I've yet to find someone in Texas running one with A/C still installed, which would be sort of comparable conditions to the ones I'd be expecting to run it in.
