Re: swap question

but the point of your radiator is to cool i thought.... so how should side mounting it help? thats just like how some people side mount their IC; i dont know y..

also where would you have enough room for a side mounted fan?

Re: swap question

you could cool off your motor like my friend did today... drove through a puddle on I-240 going 70 and sucked water up his CAI... but it didn't really cool anything off... quite the opposite actually... it f**kin hydrolocked
