I have a 5th gen.I thought I saw a post about rerouting the hoses for coolant.It described getting rid of the "y's" and having the fluid go from the right rad. to the left rad. then back to the pump, instead of splitting the coolant between the two radiators at once.Any input would help.

I dont own a 5th gen so dont qoute me on this, Just my thoughts..

Running it thru BOTH rads before returning to the motor may be too much (Read as too much cooling) and not let it run at a sufficient operating temp.

Example : 6th gen runs thru 1 rad untill above ?170F? then the T-stat opens allowing flow to the other rad. Soichiro bypassed 1 rad due to a leak on a 6th gen but found it Insufficient to only use 1 rad.

There may be other engineering issues associated with doing this.. IE: Water pump flow and pressure ?
