The top mounts/ brackets are a little different, everything else fits fine.

since we're talking about a radiator, I went ahead and moved this sucker to the engine & transmission section.

the top mounts needs to be banged out a bit and bent down.. looks kinda ghetto but it works.. if u are uncomfortable with it aint that hard to fab some new mounts.

IT's in and I bent the mounts down a bit.
drilled new holes and made some cuts for the shroud to fit.
every thing is good but it didn't lower my temp at all.
maybe my ac condenser is blocking airflow to the Rad.

consider changing the thermostat, and adding dual puller fans cant hurt either. remove the stock fan and shroud.

drive he hell out of your car for about an hour... i bet you notice a huge difference after that. it should help more over time than anything else. not to mention that the temp needle isnt all to percise, so you may not nottice it by eye.

There is something wrong with your engine and its not the rad. I just want others to know that my Koyo Radiator handling a MKIV Supra 2jzgte BPU+++ never gets the temp needle much past 1/3 under any circumstances. You can drive the hell out of the engine, the radiator limits the temp.

My car is running a 12" x 24" three row FIMC and the ac coil is there also, so my rad is more blocked than yours with no effect on cooling. No electric push or pull fans used.

My original 2jz-ge could just barely get the eom SC300 rad to a max of 1/2, so there is slight a difference.

Yes, there're not exact, but an indicator.

SCoupe,

Great post! Nothing...absolutely nothing speaks like experience. You must have saved this guy a ton.

Thanks

John
