I was doing some searching and I haven't found any solid info on test fitting an RSX radiator into an EP3.

Reason being, I am about to get a helluva deal on a Mishimoto radiator from an RSX.

I looked up the part numbers for both:

EP3 Radiator: 19010-PNF-003 RADIATOR (DENSO)

RSX Radiator: 19010-PND-003 RADIATOR (DENSO)

As you can see they only differ in part number by ONE letter. I want to assume they are the same but I'm not certain.

Chime in anyone who knows, please.


EDIT:

I think I solved the problem...

I wonder if its possible to get away with a half one like the EG/EK guys run. Then on the other side we can mount a radiator for the SC aftercooler.

This is very possible. TTS Performance in the UK made their Rotrex kit like this, but they also made a custom intake manifold to make it work.

Of course you can, I have done one that way, in a RSX with a IPS intake mani.

Perfect for a rotrex SC setup

Does any company make a nice shroud/fan setup for the misimoto rad or koyo radiator? I'm looking in getting a new radiator setup but would like to have a nice shroud with slim fans and haven't found much.

Check clubrsx. They carry fan shrouds specifically made for our cars. They are made by Mishimoto.
