    which EVO radiator?

    Which one is easier to be modified and installed? EVO4-6 or EVO7-9? I think both needed welding job, is that right?

    I use evo 8 with slim fans.
    top ribber mounts can be stretched to fit, or use one bolt instead of both on the top mount rubbers.
    on the bottom there are locating lugs, the drivers side (UK) can be cut off, (so the rad rests on the mount but the locator is cut off), the passenger side locates in the rubber fine,
    the standard upper and and lower hoses fit, and the top hose mount does not block the airbag snorkel.

    Remember if you are automatic you will need to sort out a separate trans cooler.

    I will try and find the link somewhere, cheers Louis

    Mine is M/T, so no need to worry about the A/T cooler.

    So, both the upper and lower hose fit original, right? But I have coolant temp sensor pipe on the upper hose, will that be still fine?

    The top hose pulls over to the drivers side by about 40cm, but fits past valve cover and engine cover.
