That wouldn't work with the standard S2000 rad or Tegiwa/Mishimoto/Koyorad ones because the tanks are at the top and bottom not the sides.

My Mr Sideways rad is a thing of beauty, really really nicely made. Ian Stewart is a nice guy and very knowledgeable about managing heat on track. The rad did cost an arm and a leg though once it was shipped to the UK and I paid the VAT, and that was earlier in the year before Brexit so it would cost even more now.

I've got the single core dual pass rad which Ian recons cools better then the dual core. I haven't done any data logging with it yet on track and have only done a few sprints with it so far where track time is short enough that the car doesn't get very hot. I'll probably do a cheap track day at the end of the year as a test. I've got the TTS full race supercharger which I would guess produces more heat than the HKS one.

I race on a Koyo radiatior, had no issues with 40 minute races. My engine is putting out a fair bit of poke too.

Just you SC gay boys might need a bit more cooling

I Guess you could make it into a triple pass though?

Not with the compression I'm running! Think it would run on diesel

Edit: oh the new one, maybe one day I really like this HKS sc.

I'm taking my car to a friends to get fitted. He is a fabricator so i can tweak any pipe work i need to if it doesn't quite run the way i want it.

May go fit the injectors and ECU this weekend, just depends on whether i can get the UEGO in time... Si?

Plus my car is my daily so cant be off the road for very long!
