Do you remember by how much? I was always told G20's had less space, and it did seem like it when I was trying to squeeze in the slim fans on the Koyo and the top mount on.

Check the compression of your current motor and do a leak down test. If both check out your still fine. I've been close to H a few times. My compression is a little low (200-210psi), but I don't think it's because of that. I'm about to get a compressor and do a proper leakdown test.

Run pushers if you can. You will definitely need better fans to run as pushers though. I wanted my intercooler flush against the AC condensor, thus I don't have space for one, but I wanted my intercooler out of sight.

Don't waste your money going from Godspeed to koyo, you solve anything by doing that. Are those fans 850 cfm fans each.sounds like your giving yourself headaches.

Leave that radiator in there, if you swap in the stock radiator you will only make it worse. Run an oem fan on the driver side, slimfan on the passenger side.

yeah i think im gonna do that. i been driving the car around for a good 1hr and half with the one fan blowing constant and the temp has not moved at all i think it really was just the fan and the timing i still want to do another compression test and leak down test on the motor since it got so hot before but all in all the car is feeling pretty good

Is this your first heavily modified car? It can be a nightmare fixing all of the little boost gremlins if you are new to it all.

Those fans claim they are 1250 CFM? Well my SR20VE makes 400whp NA! Don't bother asking me for a dyno sheet though, I lost it last week.

Agreed, the radiator is fine. Though you will have issues running a stock P11 fan, both fans are part of one shroud, unlike B13/B14's with the fans being separated.

That's good I recently added the (t) in my sr20de and its been smooth sailing don't her me wrong the car was a female dog sometimes but its perfect now.

Don't give up on it and buy a Honda once everything is good you should have a smile from ear to ear and you don't have to worry about your car not being there.
