Hi guys,

Ok, I've got an aftermarket radiator that I want to swap with the current standard one. I was just wondering if it will be a straight swap. I am aware that the top mounts won't fit, but am unsure if there are any problems with anything else. Any help will be appreciated, cheers.

Hey,

sorry this isn't much help... but i do think there are issues to consider.. did you try a search?

I've got a toyo aftermarket and no issues with fitting.

 

It slides into the two mount holes at the bottom easily and the top water pipe holds it in place so it doesn't jump about.

I tried a search and read somethimg about issues with the transmission cooler. But I presume that is oil cooled and therefore on a seperate system.

Ah, if you have an auto and I believe uk zeds there is an integrated oil cooler in the oem rad.

 

you can bypass this on the box buy using a short piece of pipe.

Yeah, sorry jap auto tt. I have a small radiator in front of the main one, Is this the one youre talking about?

Its part of the rad that you want to replace

Right, just looked. You are correct I have these two pipes. So.... err... What do I do now?? :(

Now if your planning on keeping the auto which you likely are then I believe you need to have an extra oil cooler for that too i'm afraid.

 

But if anyone else can confirm to be sure go ahead.

Not good, Ok I.ll just say now thank you for yor help and push my luck on another question ;) and that is where would I mount the oil cooler?? I guess the small radiator already there is for the air-con.

That's probably the engine oil cooler(small radiator), towards front of car infront of main radiator
