Yeah that's not gonna be the aluminum race radiator, it's gonna be the OEM replacement Koyo, and that's not that cheap, you can find them for just over 100

My radiator was replaced last year with a KOYO. They should be oem replacements and fit like oem.

i'm running an aluminum racing koyo radiator in my sc, its a damn nice radiator, welds are awesome and it's light, works great, but i searched everywhere and talked to quite a few dealers, i got mine for 320 and that was a helluva deal, i don't know if i'd trust 140 for the aluminum racing radiators, plus that part number doesn't sound familiar, lemme get the part number i used if i can find it,

Also the closest racing radiator that works is the one for the na supra (jza80 chassis) and it's not drop in, it's close, but you kinda of need to "reform" (smash smash) the upper support caps to fit.

With the price range you're talking about, it has to be the basic oem line but if you want the real koyo deal i think you're gonna have to fork out more.

where did you find this deal if you don't mind me asking but I had one major question though can the koyo radiator work as a direct replacement without any other upgrades such as fans...etc

A few months before I sold my SC I replaced the radiator because it had a leak. I believe I picked up a Koyo on ebay, and it was almost exactly like the stock one. Everything was perfect and all the fittings were there. Car ran just dandy with it .
