well thats f*cked, I mean the FD produces 50 more horsepower stock and runs a good 10psi of boost, if anything it would get hotter. They either have a more efficient radiator or something..

The reason why I ask is because a gentleman with an FC read that I was selling my FD radiator. His radiator had just sprung a leak and he needs a replacement asap. When he asked if the FD radiator would work in his FC I didn't have an answer........so I'm asking you guys. I also posted this in the 3rd gen section.

I have read somewhere that the FD's cooling system was marginal when working properly. Fd's don't have a reputation as a reliable car and the cooling system has been speculated to be one problem area. Also I think the fd's radiator is longer and narrower than the FC's so there may be fittement issues in trying to use one in an FC.

What exactly is a jspec radiator? A used radiator from a Japanese junkyard? 
I'm not sure that I'd consider the FC rad oversized when it can't keep the temps in line under severe track abuse.

Are the turbo and n/a radiators different? I hope you didn't spend money thinking you were getting a better radiator and actually replacing it with the same exact unit....cause well, that would suck.
