Is some sort of inline reducer necessary for the radiator hoses? The inlet/outlets on the Mishimoto appear to be much smaller than the hoses - are the hoses squeezed so as to reduce their diameter due to the wrong sized fittings on the radiator?

it was with only one intake 38.5mm(witch i reduce it to 28.5mm) at STI'08,and i made 2 intakes with 28.5mm-same places and diameter like original radiator for H6.i used other brackets not the original,because the original not stuffing well.

 

i did not understand what i wrong it?

Hi.

Can you tell us the exact rad model?

Do you had to make some mods (fix, hoses) to match your car?

I have to check on my car (2007 3.0R Spec B 5EAT) but i think it can't match, my car have 2 thermo instead of 1 for my last 2004 3.0R Spec B 6MT.

Hi,

 

So mine is installed !

 

 

There are a lot of modifications that need to be made for it to fit properly.

 

 

First of all, order a STI08+ Mishimoto (for example this one https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/402040571697).

Of course you'll need to replace the 38mm intake by 2 intakes of 28mm.

After that, an adaptation of the fans is necessary, not only at the top as on the pictures of Valadares, but also at the bottom so that the fans are as close as possible to the radiator and so that they do not touch the engine once all is in place.

 

 

1. The fan support should be fixed behind the mishimoto's thread, in order to gain a few millimeters.

2. You have to cut a part of the fans at the bottom so that it fits. This way the fans will be placed against the radiator, both at the top and at the bottom.

Finally, you will need to cut the hoses 1.5 - 2.0 cm at the radiator side.

 

 

 

 

Here are some photos and videos to help you see for yourself what work awaits you :

Especially this video which shows the entire finished work :

And this video shows all fits and not touching engine :

Hop it will help some of you.

Have fun.
