The B4 radiator is a joke. It's about the thickness of an after-market eBay oil cooler.
(Just read in the Tech Specs, it's 16mm thick) lol

Does the radiator cap actually come off? Or is It just a pressure release
My 06sti has one too but it doesnt look like it comes off, although I havent tried very hard haha

Does anyone have a photo of said setup with RX radiator hooked up to Header Tank via Bleed Screw and Overflow tube?
This is the route i will be taking with the Lib and wanted to see what it looks like.
from what i have ready i am told the RX radiator should be more than enough to handle the V3.
if things do get out of hand i will just take Tom's Yum Cha Ebay Alluminium Rad path
oh and the reason for 2 rad caps from what i have read is for ease of filling.
no need to burb the stupid remote res.

Yes. I'll take a picture later when I'm brave enough to face the heat.Does anyone have a photo of said setup with RX radiator hooked up to Header Tank via Bleed Screw and Overflow tube?

My RX radiator has been cooling an 01 EJ207 without any trouble for 6 months now, and Scott's GX radiator cooled it before that.
I would have gone to the kitchen, collected a brown bag, dropped my dacks, pinched off a loaf in said bag, done up dacks, stickytaped bag, placed bag in envelope, and mailed it right to your face for being such a tool.
It's ok, sometimes when we herp, we also derp.

Its true, you would have as much luck cooling the engine with a damp face washer as you would with the OEM radiator.

went to the radiator shop and they told me that, wrx to 02, 94 on, TT, RX, radiators are same size, might have different end tanks depending on the model and the gx is the only one that is different which is around 2 inch shorter.
