radiator help

hey i have an 87 rx7 that i may turbo in the future but i just put an s5 motor in it and i didn't realize that i have no place to put coolant in so i was thinking about buying this http://www.racingbeat.com/FRmazda2.htm do you guys recommend this one. and it does have a cap on it so i can install the fluid right? plus it doesn't say i have to do any fabricating. what do you guys think?

ahhh you mean a radiator i am here thinking you are talking about the damn coolant water fill neck on the water pump

as far the koyo radiators go yeah you are good to go all you want is the cap to fill up right, your car is a s4 so it doesnt make sense in getting a s5 radiator unless you changed the harness to ...in that case you will have a sensor on the top of the radiator wich is for coolant level

also the resale value of the s5 radiator is better because of the sensor, s4 dont have it so s5 owners dont bother

so its all up to you bro
