To be brief and to the point i had a guy work on my car to do an engine swap and he got arrested and left my car incomplete. The engine is in but my entire radiator assembly is missing and a few other things that i know where to get. The question is where is a good website to buy a radiator and do i need the fan casing? I see alot of GS300's on here without it. Any feedback is greatly appreciated

 

Man- that sounds like a shady situation!

Was he doing an engine swap for a 2JZGTE? If so, you can use the Supra radiator and that opens a lot of doors!

As for a GS radiator. you are pretty much limited to stock..there are a few options, but stock is looking like what you're going to have to use.


I bought my radiator from ebay...but since you are basically limited to stock, you can go to a local junk yard and see if they have anything for you. Just make sure to flush it out really well, and ONLY use Toyota Red coolant. You MUST get this from the dealership, and it is almost $50 for a gallon. You only need 1 gallon of straight (I dont suggest getting 50/50) and then fill the radiator the rest of the way up with distilled water (make sure you get distilled)

If you have any questions, let me know

 

i will look online or the junkyard for one but what about a fan shroud? do i need one or can i go without it?

 

Do you 'have' to have one? No. But-if you can get one, I recommend using it. They help the cooling process a lot. Many people don't run one-and I have no idea why.

 

Thanks you for the info just finding a fan shroud seems impossible do you know any good sites for parts?

 

Really the best option for that would be just getting one from a junk yard. You're probably not going to get a new one unless you get it from the dealer...
