good points about the rad kfzemx3 and joe. you think even a powerful fan that i run to a switch could make up for that? i have a slim fan thats supposed to cool a chevy 305.

its just the size of the thing. It wont really be big enough to get enough cool fluid in it to cool. to be ran back thru the motor. And the Kl has alot of heat sink already. It will work im sure when moving.. but when u come to a stop.. it will raise. I had one on my mx3, and it worked until i got in traffic. and the temp would creep up..
Correct, as we saw with the bp-t that Aarron melted... lol. I'd be willing to say its probably a 90% chance your going to have problems with heat, now I hope it just sits a little high when you're idle.
The fan might help, but I still worry. My main concern is the guys who have tried to go with the honda radiators to make room for turbos, they've realized very quickly that its just not enough Rad to cool the K series.
unfortunately with your setup you're shoving an engine in an even smaller more compact space, less space for the heat to escape.
Personally I would try to see if the mx-3 rad will even fit at all 1st before moving on to a honda radiator. If the mx-3 one doesn't work then move to the miata, not sure the exact year range, but I know the inlets and outlets of a 94 miata match that of the mx3/6/626/probe etc... They are a few inches shorter in height. and an inch or so in width as well if memory serves me.
Let me know if you guys need any help with anything, its been a few mins since I got dirty with a k series![]()

the mx3 Gs radiator would be a good one to try.. i attempted on the pro. And in order for it tto work, he would need to chop the core support bars in front off, and run the radiator there. But i never got around to trying that. Its not as tall as the 323 one, but is wider.
And the miata radiator, I was also considering, it was the 94 that has the best in and outlets.
