i have a 3inch koyo radiator that i got for 50 bucks yes i know awesome deal, but there is a catch...it has the inlet and outlet both on the left side of the radiator(left side as if standing in front of the car) could i just find the right hoses to feed and drain the radiator? or are there bigger issues here? thanks alot charles
btw in terms of fittment it is like a glove so no issues there:icon_bigg

For future refrence, that is the right side of the car. It is always listed from the driver perspective.

The coolant will go down, and across. Will it go as well across the core as the cross flow? Probably not. Just make sure everything is up to snuff.

Sounds like a Koyo 1JZ radiator...it's going to be a challenge getting that upper hose routed ;)

flip the thermostate housing around.. :} maybe

And i have a 3 inch aluminum rad i bought off summit racing.. was the bigest rad that would fit between frame and fit under hood.. I used a Flex hose on bottom...was a trick to get in there but works...

That might work...cut the 90 deg end off the stock upper hose to fit. You might have to do a little grinding on the power steering reservoir mount. And, make sure the sensor wires are tucked out of the way.

3"?

that's 75mm, a 57mm PWR doesn't leave much room for the Fan..

I dont think he can use stock fan with it.. with my set up i have 1/4 inch from back of shroud to the nut that tightens the a/c ajuster pully.. tight fit very
but it works and ill never worry about cooling as far as that goes...

power steering has been relocated for aesthetic purposes.
