Oh...yeah. LOL. Plus blower makes a little more heat AND the intercooler is in front of the trans cooler and radiator.

Got the radiator in. Its a really nice part. Had to trim the fan shroud on the top and bottom for it to sit properly on the radiator, and they didn't have a drain petcock in the box, so i had to grob one (its 1/4" NPT for future reference).
The thing is huge, and getting in the and the fans in isn't as easy as the stock one, but it fits well once its in. The added thickness moves the lowe hose close to the abs module/pump, so it helps getting the lower hose on if you unplug the abs module.
Other than that, it's a straight forward install IMO as far as aftermarket parts are concerned.
Just thought I would post an update for those interested.
I am still waiting for my radiator to arrive since ordering it on the 18th November last year, and when I call full race now I get a lady who tells me no one is available and takes a message.
I have left 4 messages with no reply, so my recommendation would be to steer clear of these guys.
If I have heard nothing in the next week I will be doing a credit card reversal.
Not very happy at all.
When you upgraded the radiator what did you do for hoses? I see HPS makes a 4 hose kit, Mishimoto makes a 2 hose kit and the stock OEM Site like Tasca shows 2 that can be purchased. Did you purchase one of the two upgraded kits, order 2 new OEM or didn't even change the hoses? I have a CBR on the way to prep for a Moab trip so curious about the hoses.I've been able to do some offroading with this, and its still been warm-ish in Vegas. Trails where my trans used to get to 225-230* even on cooler 50-60* nights, on an 80* day the trans stayed around 210 (with the stock external trans cooler), oil runs 210-220, and coolant runs 195-205. Very happy with the CBR radiator.
