OEM size radiator options

Postby 7Hazi » Fri Oct 08, 2010 11:05 am

Hey everyone.

I am after a new radiator as mine is dead. I was just wondering if there are any all aluminum ones or something that are OEM size (It can't be any thicker then stock as it will interfere with my Jackson Racing CAI :cry:). I have been looking at a Koyo one that is OEM size and has an aluminum core however I'm not too happy with the fact that it, like the OEM one, has plastic tank sides (don't really want plastic again as the plastic on my current radiator has gone extremely brittle).

Thanks!

just measured my original na8 rad, which is about 50mm thick overall with a core thickness of about 30mm, so guess that rules out the 40 & 42mm core rads.

If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.
