Mishimoto and Godspeed is also good as I heard...

Have a Koyo on my AE86, doesn´t fit needed to cut the bottom rubber dampers and the top brackets. ANY alloy rad will do, its not like the come out of the factory with leaks just because the are cheap
Maybe the welds are not as beautiful as but the all do the same job!

Mate is running Mishimoto, fits allright but still needed modification, too.

those are little things. but some i seen are so bend and mayby leaking. etc stuff.. But mishimoto and godspeed are ok price shipped to here. rest go little over budged

Where are you getting the rad from? The States? Misimoto has dealerships in Europe, that will save you tax and such.

hmm must look about that. Inside eu is best thing.. if i find

swerige prices was so high at least that its cheaper to order from states.

Have anyone tryed running with a upgraded aloy radiator from a Honda Civic? It's pretty narrow compared with a AE86 radiator, wich will make enough room for a huge airfunnel to the ITB's The height is almost the same and its 5cm thick.
I know the mounting brackage won't fit, but hey, its just metal :wink:

But I'm a bit worried off the smaller radiator, will propperly cool a high output 4A-GE.

I've been using CRX radiator for 5 years, that's the way I got my car, worked fine.
Tuned my 4AGE a bit recently, not sure if it will still work, but probably will find out .

If someone finds some fat similar designed radiator from some European car, let me know, not relly in the mood to spend 400+ $ for Godspeed/Mishimoto/Koyo .

I'm running a cheap ebay civic alloy radiator with a pretty powerful electric fan on my 4A-GZE and it runs cool as ice.
