so im doing a whole new setup on the GT now that i have the legnum vr4 for my daily car and a 5 month old baby lol...
my GT will be pure track car for a few years now so im redoing alot of things:
rebuilt head with ARP bolts & higher CR @ 8.0.1 instead of 7.5.1 (still forged 5e)
td05 20G - replaced a 16g
600 x 300 x 76 intercooler with 2.5" alloy pipes -replaced a 300 x 300 x 54mm 2" pipes
3" turbo back exhuast - replaced a 2.5"
full polybush replacment - because racecar
link g3 ECU. - replaced emanage ultimate
all the above is now fitted and when i take it for mapping ill be hoping for very high 300's to possably 400 @ 1.8ish bar
only thing i have left to do is fit the new cooling system:
ive removed the 3" thick civic radiator as i don't like the idea of such a small surface area, and now my plan is to fit a closed system 680 x 380 x 52mm radiator just behind the intercooler which will be right in shot of the toms grille for better cooling effect and bigger surface area.
The downside to this is the top of the radiator no longer be the highest point in the cooling system, so i need to put a remote pressure cap or surge tank somewhere.
so has anyone done this before? or as im new to surge setup lets get some pics of cooling systems posted up for other refrences.
something like this is what im possably going for:
i highly recomend you spend the time to read if you genuinly intrested in running a better cooling system.
there is a quote in there that says something along the lines of (thickness is no match for surface area)
edit,
my research comes form here (credit where credit due)

and ive got some photos on page 2 of the project underway.... will update this thread with proper photos in a month or so when its all back together
