better cooling new radiator ????????

[djtest]

I have a fmic, bov, and some other goodies but the front mount is custom and they left the stock intercooler where it is. Do you guys think there is a benefit in getting a new rad ? one that takes up ALL that unused space...... if yes where can I find it . Also if anyone already did this , Did you see a drop on the TEMP gauge ? my car runs too fricken hot after driving for thirty mins. THANKS ! (godown)

u can put in a stock p5 radiator or any upgraded one for the p5 to take up the whole crossmemeber and throw out the stock ic...awr makes a all aluminum one...they use that in the speed racing serise on thier proteges :) all the kinks worked out on that fmic?

really? and it bolts right up? no modification necessary? I also think AWR makes one for the MSP (without having to remove the SMIC)?

You can get the AWR High Performance Radiator and purchase some brackets from the dealer for a protege5 and it will bolt right in. That's what I did and worth it.

But right now you can get an even better radiator for less, thanks to Mike and ********. Check out this super nice PWR:
