Most likely you will have to trim about 1" off of the fan shroud to allow for the increased width of the radiator but it should be pretty straight forward. We use a similar design in our V8 cars and we rarely see the V8s go above 200 degrees in 90-100 degree heat. This should help out quite a bit with the turbo cars! __________________ Dave Gilbert Midwest Solstice/Sky Headquarters! info@performanceautowerks.com www.performanceautowerks.com www.werksracing.net 815-439-4547

Quote: Is this the fix for the turbo heat? While there are many reasons for excess heat in the three KC turbos, the turbo is only one of them. Quote: ...is adding this aluminum radiator overkill for these temps? Having a larger radiator will depend on how and where your car is being used and how often. Those that are in the hotter climates but only run the car on weekends will likely NOT see anything out of the ordinary with their cars. Some stock unmodded cars going to or from KC commented on the cars running at or near the 214-218 range. The Werks car and the Archie car didn't come near that range. __________________ I visit here less and less nowadays. Leave a PM if you want but it may be days before I return to it.

	JGene Member Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: Irvine, CA	How much does the new radiator weigh when compared to the stock one? __________________ So high, so low, so many things to know. VIN 8694 delivered on February 3rd, 2006. Two years later and I'm still enjoying it just as much as the day I took delivery. DDM Stage II and Spec 2+ clutch/flywheel finally installed :)

It will be about 3 or 4 lbs heavier than stock, nothing noticeable. __________________ Dave Gilbert Midwest Solstice/Sky Headquarters! info@performanceautowerks.com www.performanceautowerks.com www.werksracing.net 815-439-4547

	carlintexas Member Join Date: May 2005 Location: Muenster, Texas	Dave, do you have an availability date yet? I don't like heat over 205. Might not hurt a thing - maybe it's just me! All three of the KC turbo's went north of 220 during the trip. I'm sure many of the stock n/a's made it over 210 in the heat. I'm thinking GM gave us a 190 thermostat because there's something about that temp that's a good thing! Either to heat it up in the winter - or keep it cool in the summer. __________________ TEAM SOLSTICE 2008 *NASSOA(tm)* Founding Member #2 1st 1K #781 DDM Custom Turbo System DDM Pro-Beam, A-Pillar Pod, PLX gauges Starlight red I/C pipes and coil cover GReddy Profec B Boost Controller, HKS BOV 3" Magnaflow cat-free Werks radiator / Precision billet grilles Norms vented fenders / GXP Spoiler Riken Raptor's 255/45/18
