Were can i get a aftermarket oem radiator for my 87 tII. All the ones i fine online say its for a n/a, is there a diffrents. Anyone that has replaced theirs i like to know were you got yours, and how it fit. Thanks Tony

 

I don't think it matters if it's non-turbo or turbo?

They are the same part number, so yes an NA rad will work. Just make sure that its from a manual s4 car. The auto rad is different in some way.

 

Automatic transmission radiators, as a rule, have a heat exchanger built into the rad for the auto trans fluid (cooling).

The one I just took apart had a seperate heat exchanger in front of the rad somewhere. Car was kinda FUBARed so I'm not sure of the stock location.

 

Im trying to stay away from the dealers way to much money. Im looking for someone that got a aftermarket one that works, i like to know where thay got it from and what thay paid for it. I seen some online anywhere from $145- $200 but i don't know if thay will fit. So any help would be great. Thanks Tony

yeah actually i just had your problem. i have this shop around me called drift office they helped me get a koyo radiatior if your giong to replace your radiator just go big. i havent had a probelm with it. altho i had to custom fab the brackets which is jjust hammer visgrips and a drill. it a light weight alumi one nice looking great for cooling. i would recoment it to any rotary engine. it a bit spendying i payed 325 for mine but everywhere i looked it was like 300 ball park

 

I like to go aftermarket oem for now. I have no cooling problem with my stock rad.

 

I actually picked up an OEM brass one for 45 shipped. The neglected to tell me there were number of bent fins and they didn't pack it right so the two main hose outlets got bent, but its still a good deal even after I get it fixed. So the moral of this story is that you can find a lot of stuff in the f/s section.

Koyo is 295 there. They have a cheap all brass one but it says non-turbo only. I think the brass one doesn't cool as well and a turbo car puts more heat nto the cooling system so they don't reccomend it. The stock one is an aluminum core with plastic end tanks.

 

where was that site when i needed it last month

 

Whats the differents between the s4 & s5 radiators. Would the s5 fit in a s4.
