I can barely keep my turbo s2000 cool with your full blow full size radiator and 2 spal extreme performance fans, vented hood, vented bumper and a large oil cooler. I'm sure I could forget about driving my car with this half size radiator in 100+ degree heat with the Ac on full blast.

Why would you not need a half size radiator? This looks like an every day civic aluminum radiator.

Cause the s2000 has trouble keeping cool even without boost with a full size radiator.

we keep 800hp civic's cool enough with a radiator this size
I just wonder how well this would keep a S/C car cooled around a 20 lap track session
might make a lot of room for a new cold air induction.

This is obviously designed with the drag strip in mind.

So a full size radiator has trouble keeping it cool so to fix that you put in a half sized radiator.

I like the drag strip idea better.

Ehh. My street driven turbo s2k with stock radiator and ac never has issues with keeping cool. South Florida heat also. Maybe Texas/Arizona dry heat is more taxing.

^^ yup!!! I still use the stock radiator and have been for 4 years of boost. 3 different turbo setups, 450-700whp, 3 different states ranging from 70s-90s, no issues....ever.
