Must have been the wrong single pass then.

2 cars, 2 Sillas, no problems.(except there are none available) So I guess the answer is yes, if it's the correct single pass for the car.

Re: need svx Radiator...

We really need to figure out what cars have a compatible radiator. There must be other cars with a similar radiator design.

Silla has been saying "available soon" for about 3 years for their SVX condensers, Don't hold your breath.

Re: need svx Radiator...

Closest I have found is a 2000-2004 Legacy...the top and bottom mounting pins are in different locations and you'd likely need to use the top Legacy hose to reach the water neck on the engine...sooooo..that bringy said... Drill holes in the rad. Support to relocate the mounting brackets.. Or cut and epoxy the pins for relocation and hope they hold.

I actually have a better solution.
However it requires fabrication, different hoses, different fans, a rewireing of said fans.
I have done it many times.
So, who is in?

I'm in. As I've mentioned before, I want to upgrade to a crossflow-style radiator.

Bit more expensive but this might be a good option. Anyone have experience with something like this? I know Rywire is respected in the riced engine bay/legitimate motorsport community for their military spec wiring harness but I've got no idea about their radiator. Seems legit in any case.
