i just read a thread about installing a big radiator on a rb 240.. my question is whats the thickiest radiator you can go without having to cut metal to get it to fit.. all i have is the alternator and the powersteering. this is a drift car keep in mind so stock more and likely wont cut it.

it all depends on what kit u used for mounting, also u can always pop the hood n measure to see how much room u have n make ur decision from there, also if its just a drift car y not just trim/cut some of the radiator support to fit a the biggest radiator u can fit..... dont know how ur drifting is but u might endup messing the car anyways so its not like it would hurt anything if ur trim some metal away for some extra cooling..

Im running a 2" core with no mods to the rad support. If you use the pushers youll have a lot more room for the rad.

cx racing on sleazebay sells a nice r32 gts-t/r radiator that works very well in a s13 chassis, just need to use some spacers for the upper radiator mounts but fits well otherwise.

I have a CX racing s13 rad that worked great in my rb20 when i was drifting it. I bought 2 13in jegs pusher fans. Never had a problem
