probably a dumb question but.... (radiator related)

I've got a 1990 T2 RX-7 and my radiator has been leaking slowly.. well now there are 21 different streams of water shooting out of it and I am needing a new one.

I've looked a bunch of places and found a radiator i like but it makes no mention of Turbo. Is there going to be a difference between a Turbo and Non Turbo RX-7's radiator?

I think it depends on the aftermarket radiator you purchase. Some are designed to work in both Turbo and non-turbo and some are not. You'll have to consult the manufacturer.

I don't get it.. What exactly is the difference?
The pictures of each of them look identical (aside from the other manufacturers logos).

there is no difference between an N/A and a turbo radiators. the only thing you need to make sure of, is that your getting the right series 87-88 S4 is different from the 89-91 S5.

go to ebay and pick up a koyo for ~$300 shipped. fits like a glove. just remember that the only issue you might have is the brackets. check to see if yours are welded or if they're bolted on.

thank you so much! I didn't think there was a difference (aside from the differences for the years). Thank you!
It was this Koyo that was what I was looking at too!
