    You can get two 10" slim lines for about $50 each and wire them up to a relay and use the stock turn on wire to turn on the relay and it will work fine. Two slim lines will definetly work good enough without shrouding.

    You can do 12" fans too if you want, get a puller behind the radiator and a pusher in front of the radiator if there is space, if not keep two 10" pullers behind the radiator.

    The lower one fits but the upper one I think is a little different. You can get a universal flexible radiator hose for like $10 at AutoZone. I dont know tho, me personally, I like things to fit properly, and my EVO radiator swap wasnt a direct bolt in, I had to modify some stuff. If your not having cooling issues, why not just get another stock radiator?

    I'm not to fond of the "bling" rating, but it did the job and can be cut to size. Like stewi said, can be purchased at auto-zone.

    yea well i live in Virginia Beach and it can get hot here so i really need it. Last summer my ac wasn't functioning to its full potential and i am thinking i might as well get a evo radiator since im spending money. Im running 1 fan on the radiator just like you.

    it will run cooler with a stock EVO fan. Mitsu fans use pulse width modulation to active the fan. Essentially what this means is that the fan is variable speed. This is great because it keeps operating temps optimal by increasing or decreasing fan speed. With an aftermarket fan like mine, its either on or off. Plus the stock shrouding helps a ton, I am trying to fabricate some type of shroud for my aftermarket fan.

    so what did you guys do with the tranny cooler issue because i know that evo radiators dont cool the tranny since they are manual cars.

    Me and Cali are 5 speed so we dont need a tranny cooler. You can pickup a cooler from B&M for about $40 and just mount it to the front of the A/C condenser and get some longer hoses so it reaches.

    if you have the factory thin radiator it will, if you have the factory thick radiator you might not see much difference.

    shouldnt be. I mean the idea using the stock radiator was to modify the mounting tabs, with a full aluminum radiator, the only way to move the tabs is to cut them off and have new ones tig welded in which wont be that cheap. You can also try doing it likle Cali did, he just drilled new holes in the rubber mounts, it makes the radiator sit kinda crooked and not centered, but it gets the job done.

    The mishimoto for the v6 eclipse will fit perfectly. It needs some spacers but all of the hoses line up and clears the JDM heads
