My friend is doing an engine swap in his Integra and in the process, he's giving me his half-size, dual core Koyo radiator.

I now have a few choices on intercooler placement. I bought a greddy kit with a starion intercooler from Ben and it has the piping that goes down the backside of the radiator and around the radiator to connect to the intercooler. If I get rid of my full size radiator (and AC heat exchanger), I'll be able to have a better path for the piping.

Another option (would cost a little more) would be to put the radiator and an upgraded WRX intercooler side-by-side in the engine bay and have REALLY short intercooler piping.

I think either way will cool the charge well and still allow the stock cooling system to do its job. Also, what would be the best way to get or fab-up hoses that would connect the new radiator up to the engine?

Thanks for the help

Hmm, interesting ... I'll have to look around for somebody who might be able to fab something like that.

Is there a forum sponsor where flex hose can be purchased from?

First time I've ever seen that thread, was a good read. Nice pics. Maybe I can do some fun stuffs myself now that I ordered me an AC/DC TIG.
