Subject: Will turbo radiator fit perfectly in tii engine>?

Hello, im wondering if the turbo radiator is a perfect swap with my tii radiator. Is there any alterations needed to fit the turbo radiator? I've heard of relocating the battery or some sort.

Others will jump in with more details, but I believe the turbo radiator is wider. It is not a direct replacement on a tii. You'll probably have to move the fuel filter at a minimum.

Turbo radiator bolts into the same holes as the regular one, but instead of having the long thin metal piece on the driver's side between the actual radiator and where it bolts in, oin the Turbo unit the actual radiator area goes all the way to the bolts on the driver's side. So, bolts right in. BUT, the front valance area in front of the raditor is not opened up all the way on regular 02/tii front panels to the size of the Turbo radiator, so it may not be as effective (unless you widen the opening to the full size of the Turbo rad).
