I have been searching and contemplating a couple of different setups as I have saw a variety of different radiator setups on here, civiclife.net and k20a.org. I find it difficult to understand the k20.org lingo because its mostly American. lol.

but here's my options;
Tegiwa full length radiator
DC5 radiator
EP3 radiator
DC2 radiator.

what are the pros and cons of these? Are there any specific sensors missing/present on these radiators I should be aware of and what hoses will mate to them happily?
 
why not using a half size aluminum radiator ? we have them on stock 224whp motors to 800whp turbo without any overheating problems.....
 
I would happily use a half size radiator. that itself isn't what I'm asking about though. But thanks for your reply anyway man.
 
as far as im aware no stock rads have sensor ports, only the k swap specific rads incorportate ports for your temp sendor and fan switch

I didn't think they would be necessary if I were to use my DC2 Radiator :S This has given me something extra to think about!
 
You can buy an adaptor for the rad hose to accommodate the sensors.
 
i'm running a hybrid racing DC2 radiator, they do some nice full width EK specific ones also and you don't need to cut/reweld brackets for them (my brackets are already moved so i bought the DC2 one)

good fit, comes with ports for your fan switch and temp sensor, will also clear any inlet manifold / IACV if you are running EKK2 mounts as i found out today ( i have a RRC manifold which is about the biggest you would fit )
