got a bit lucky with the koyo racing rad i bought recently

after seeing the jdm OEM fan wouldnt fit this rad i thought might have to go for an aftermarket fan set up. Read up a bit - got really confused but today i found an old OEM UKDM fan and hey presto it fits like a glove - job done

Theres a small gap at the bottom of the shroud but i can live with that. Now i need to fit this asap

Nice one. But does the rad fit in the car though?

What's the difference between a JDM and UKDM fan?

it should do - its only an extra 21mm deeper (with fan fitted) than OEM 32mm 4g BB4 rad. Mounting holes centre to centre are spot on both top and bottom. Only snag i can see is that it might need new or modified top mount tabs as it may sit slighlty further out from the slam panel.

different mounting points and jdm (BB4) fan shroud is also smaller by an inch or so

Ive got both sitting here so i could take some pics and measurements if needed.

If it fits everywhere else I can fab you up a pair of brackets. I am getting some sheet steel so can cut you out some and bent them in the right shape.
