What radiator to use??

[evfan42]

my dad came with a question, would the original AE86 radiator work for the 20 valve silvertop?

I too have the SV21 Camry twin core, see here:

Jup, it will.

Little remark about the rx-7 SA radiators: they seem to need bigger diameter piping than the stock radiator, so fitting them is not nearly plug and play.
I would just opt for a new ae86 radiator.. it can handle regular use of a 4age very efficiently.

Would a Mk2 Golf/Jetta radiator work??

It has been done before...but it requires some fiddling with a pressure tank.

It will but you have to either run the water lines across the back of the head or over the header and across the front of the head to get them to work. You can use an early 80's Corolla radiator that has both openings on the right side (when looking from the front of the engine bay) as opposed to the openings both on the left as with the original AE86 layout.

I have a Koyo in my car. It's OK. I'm currently having a high driving temperature, but I'm suspecting the thermostat to be the culprit. I'm working with Sym from Pass Racing on locating a low temp unit for me.
