Jellybean Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 TT RZ 1993 With all the different manufacturers and SRD new Rad; can you recommend me a new radiator that will retain the stock Airbox and mounting points plus is future proof for a 35r GTX single Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I'm using a Fluidyne one and that's brilliant. People rate the Koyo ones too IIRC. Shipping from the USA will probably price those two out though. I'd go for the SRD one if it was me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 ...SRD one if it was me. That's what I'm doing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Got the Koyo Rad in mine, but i know Lee(SRD) is doing his own one now. So if mine goes tits up, id get an SRD one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 (edited) can you recommend me a new radiator that will retain the stock Airbox and mounting points plus is future proof for a 35r GTX single Stock OEM. None of the aftermarket ones I've seen retain the top airbox mounting points unless you fab your own brackets up, and even the "fits as stock" Fluidyne rad doesn't "fit as stock". http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?83646-Fitting-Fluidyne-radiator Edited January 10, 2011 by Thorin (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LolaBoost94 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Lola's got a Mishimoto in her. I've heard they don't hold up that well—didn’t research as much as I should have prior to purchasing it. It's done me well -no problems at all- and I was kind of in a time crunch as my old radiator took a shite. Happy searching! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 My ideal choice would be OEM as I think they are copper rather than Aluminium? Quite pricey though. Other than that I would be after one of Lee's, bargain for fitment like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pic in my Garrage I think Unfortunately it split along to top so only lasted few years. I went back to stock I'm sure stock will be fine for most applications tbh. Cheeper 2!

I see because you (or whoever fitted it) made a bracket up. Plus how the hell did it split open? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamuraiFlash Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I've got an SRD Rad in my car and it fits in perfect with stock air box and fan shroud, and it looks nice too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Stock pre facelift TT rad would be my choice. I don't believe in 'BLING' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Do a search on eBay for "ASI supra radiator" These rads are only about 130 quid delivered and the quality and fitment is just as good any other alloy rad I've seen fitted to a supra. I've fitted quite a few of these to supras and never had an I'll fitting 1. You may have to trim your fan shroud to fit perfectly but you do with almost all alloy rads. I've got 1 in my own car with a PHR fan kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't fit it so don't know about the bracket. It split along to top where the finned area meets the top section, on the engine side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Whiffin Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 To me Koyo seems the best available at a decent price, quality is superb. We've had a few Fluidynes leak over the years, never had a Koyo let us down yet. Link. Retail price is £371.71 inc 20% VAT. Members price £334.53 inc VAT.

Nic Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I use to have a Fluidyne rad and wasn't that impressed. The spacing of the mounting bosses for the fan shroud weren't correct and when the car was being mapped after the GT35R install the coolant temps were running very high. It gets very hot in HK during the summer - 35-40C - so I decided to swap it for a Power Enterprise Double Row Radiator. The PE rad was a lot thicker, looked better constructed, fitted perfectly and when checked on the dyno was a lot more efficient compared to the Fluidyne. They're not cheap, but it'd be the rad I'd use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 My ideal choice would be OEM as I think they are copper rather than Aluminium? Quite pricey though. £361.33 retail so around £325 with a bit of discount, their all auto rads now as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats plus a surcharge if you dont give your old radiator in exchange and all Toyota prices have recently gone up to, some 10-15%, as if there not expensive enough as they are!
