Restomod Racing

As with most of Megan Racing products, the aluminum radiators is fairly simple installation process.  On

the 89 Turbo Supra the installation required several modifications.  When we did a trial fit we noticed that the bottom tank hit agains the lower radiator support.  It required the grinding or cutting back of about a 1/4″ to 1/2″.  Once the radiator dropped into place, it was time to trial fit the fan shroud.  On this particular installation the shroud needed to be modified.  On the stock installation the lower end of the fan shroud had a couple of tabs that slides into brackets on the lower stock radiator.  On the Megan Racing radiator it had round tabs welded to the lower tanks to be used as the lower shroud supports.  It looked like the intent was to bolt the lower part of the fan shroud to the radiator.  Since this was not how the shroud was designed, it necessitated that we grind out the tabs on the lower shroud so it would fit around the radiator support tabs.  Once this was done everything lined up.  The next challenge was the way the upper support tabs on the radiator was attached to the upper tank.  It pushed the upper fan shroud out about a 1″ from the radiator.  This created a gap between the radiator and the shroud, it also caused the fan to rub on the top of the shroud.  We once again pulled out the grinder and ground the fan shrouds bolt holes large enough to slide the shroud over the radiators tab and then use a large washer on the bolt to retain the shroud to the upper radiator support.  With all this done, everything fit.  The car now runs much cooler than it ever did.
