Fluidyne radiator in an S5 - fitment issues?
I have a Fluidyne radiator that was originally noted for an S4 only per their catalog. Will I have any issues installing it in my S5? Would I be better off just buying a brass/copper direct replacement replacement unit for my S5?
TIA.
TIA.

You have zip ties and a drill don't you? I don't see any problems with getting that bad boy mounted. Aside from very few aftermarket radiators working with fan shroud (causing a switch to E-Fan if you're running clutch) most radiators will fit. It's a worth while upgrade as well, just make sure you do it right because high heat = rotary death.

What Chu takkin about Willis?.heh,heh!
I know the Koyo rad can be mounted using the stock rad parts.(take the support off the stock rad and put on the koyo,mount the rad).
I am not sure about the Fluidyne,But I would guess that you can just use some metal and bend it to make some brackets.
..Zip ties,,,holy fark...Someone suggested I could hold the steering rack and brackets to the car that way!!!!...I asked him to send me some of what he was smokin'!!!

or get a s4 fan shroud..
the mount holes will need to be redrilled since the s5 mount holes are slightly different. aside from that it is basically the same radiator without the lame *** goose neck filler. burping the system will just be a little more tedious.
