Hey does anyone have good pics of the p5 radiator in the MSP. When my guy makes my pipes and FMIC I want to make sure there are no clearance problems when I drop in the bigger radiator.

Thanks

If you make the harpipes not interfere with where the stock intercooler is then you will be fine.

Cool cool. I guess what I was affraid of is the pipe hitting the upper radiator hose if it attaches at a different point.

Good point, I bet that is a little more to the drivers side on the radiator, shouldn't be a big problem, just pretend that the hose is a little moved over :)

In any case, it shouldn't be too hard to find a pic.

The MSP Rad hose gets flipped over 180 degrees to teh right to meet the upper rad fitting on a P5 rad. When you are installing your IC and pipes. Flip it over and you'll see that there are no conflicts in space/ fitment.

MAKE SURE YOUR GUY ALLOWS CLEARANCE FOR YOU A/C FAN..... It's tight like a frogs asshole down there. (Depending how how routes the piping.)

Who all has the P5 radiator in their MSP? You could also go with the AWR High Performance Radiator (3501). I just installed this in my MP3 last month, and it makes a BIG DIFFERENCE!!!
