Yes, but there will be nowhere to fill it from. You would also need to swap on the coolant filler neck from an S4. S5s have the filler neck on the radiator itself.

if you're replacing the radiator you might as upgrade while you're at it to an all metal dual pass radiator

something cheap from this site (or many others like it) will work fine on an NA

If you go w/ a new one, you can pick up a 53mm dual pass Koyo w/ mounting kit for $305 here: http://www.absoluteradiator.com/Prod....asp?idProd=18

Stock shroud & fan fit just fine, and all you need is a roll of ~1/2" foam tape to seal the gaps. Cools far better than a stock rad too.
