A friend asked me tonight what the most readily available off the shelf combo for both the radiator and intercooler (cross flow in front of the radiator) for use in an SR20DET equipped 510 would be?
I didn't have an answer, so I was hoping you guys could help me out.
He's looking for off the shelf products that can be ordered directly, then he'll make the sheetmetal fit the application.
Any assistance (and example photos) are greatly appreciated.

Re: SR20DET Radiator/Intercooler info needed
I purchased both of mine from mckinney. Cutting is required for the intercooler and some custom brackets are required to mount the radiator. It does take some time for the shop to build the product as they are made to order. There is also the "CX Racing" ebay stuff also. No experience with them besides on their turbo manifold.

This guy is on here but has recent pics on ratsun of fitting a CX racing intercooler/rad duo. See bottom of page 13 and 14 for fitment. Page 1 has the mod list.

No, not Malcolm - he has enough toy’s.
Funny I was talking with Malcolm about resurrecting his Ice Racer this year, turning it into a Solo1 car permanently. Talked to Dave today about panels for the project- of which Malcolm will need all...
However I can't divulge this new car, I was specifically asked not to. Not that I'm being captain secret, but I was asked to keep quiet and not make it public. Some people just like to be on the fringe, I'm sure you understand.
However, the question also has a personal flavor. I have been reading up on so many build threads over the years, and most of us do something quite custom (like I did) when it comes to the radiators and intercoolers. So when this question came up this past week, I didn’t actually have a definitive answer. And not being an SR guy, I thought I'd post this here as there are many of you who are very knowledgeable.
I will check out the links from McKinney, Datsport and CX. If you have or are aware of other sources of an off the shelf cross flow intercooler/radiator combo that works together in our 510's for an SR20DET application, I'd be very interested in hearing from you.
Thanks, Byron

Re: SR20DET Radiator/Intercooler info needed
I have a TSR fabrication intercooler /rad set up in my sr 510 and love the fitment and quality of Mario's parts, but they are not cheap. On the other hand I paid a visit at Datsport this past November while I was in Australia on holidays and had a look at their intercooler/ radiator set up. Its high quality and very simple to install. The radiator even has a built in overflow tank. Its a very complete kit including everything, like a fan thermo, switch, hoses mounting plate.Iinfact if you ever need to remove the radiator for servicing its a five minute job. Many Australians use this set up on their cars. I highly recommend their product. Give Baz a call he can give you a great insight on his product if you are looking for top quality of the self products.
