Buggar. I would have liked a plug and play higher capacity radiator!

Ah well.

get the rad from the NA automatic

i'm 90% sure this is plug and play, even tho the f*cktard at natrad told me otherwise when i was desperate for my radiator to be replaced that day. worth looking into :?:

Im not sure about the auto's, but in manual form, the NA radiator is the same for NA6 and NA8. The PWR radiator is about 20mm deeper than the NA one. When we fitted the NA+B radiator from PWR, we were rather confused, since it was fouling the belts

NB radiator mounts completely differently...not easily interchangeable.

NA8 and NA6 are the same...Auto is bigger.

NA and NB are about the same capacity...just a single core and pretty much the same dimension.

The SP has a thick PWR rad. from what I can remember.

The SE has a Genuine Mazda thick core.( I bought one from mazda brand new for about $200)...it works fine in my race car.

I don't have any lying around...got rid of all my NA stuff.

try JDMyard or BEL garage.

they are a japanese brand, but production is in indo.
awesome quality and light weight.

seems even better than PWR from that i have seen.

I would, but you're not! When I bailed r0gue out when his radiator split at NatMeet, I got my 94's from home and he used that to get home.

Ok, have you got that on the race car or on the turbo now? I remember the turbo rad went boom at the last track day and you were planning to get a PWR one for the race car and use the auto for the turbo. Did you end up doing that? How does it handle the extra heat?
