      IMO leaning will have a major effect as the air no longer *freely* moves over the fins. It would have had to hit the fins, change angle of flow to get through. Something that minor could make the difference between just hot enough and too hot especially with a heat source like a turbo.
      The T3 BP MX-3 conversion has begun, and is taking forever & will kill me.

        maybe... but then again your fan is still going to draw the air straight through. so idk.

          My Civic Radiator. It was a bit tall so i chopped the bottom tank in half and welded some new alloy with the outlet on the left (The stock Civic position came out at my gearbox mount).

          Works Good. Nice and Thick. Only thing is I need a new fan, I'm running an aircon fan that has now died.
