I'v got 2000+ mile inbto my ej 2.5 NA conversion into a 98 base.

I love it, so good in the corners and twisties (?more torque)

I'm only running the 2 main side rads. no problems at all.
If anything my set-up over cools the heatercore, and keeps the temp way down.

I did 2+hrs in heavy city stop and go, (a few months ago when it was 80-90s).
fan did cycle, typ at coming to a stop for never more than 1-2 min).

Really pushing it I did hear the second stage come on one day (ripping up the Hwy1),
It cycled, then dropped to first stage, completely normal.

If you look at Precision motorsports in AZ, they have done a few...

Good luck, I strongly recommend the conversion.

BUT! be ready to make things yourself and get creative, or PAY!

Matt

p.s. I'm more than willing to share my solutions to my conversion...
