I'm about to purchase an aluminum radiator and I don't know which one to choose.
What do you guys think about MEGAN RACING?
Their unit has 3 rows... Does that make a major difference? Fluidyne is one row.

i have a mishimoto radiator (1jzgte) and stock fan setup without a shroud (mishimoto only makes manual radiators, so i placed the oil cooler for the trans behind the radiator and havnt had time to modify it). this past summer my oil was BOILING. be sure to get a shroud. however, im ditching the clutch fan for a set of fal's.
THE KEY TO ALL ELECTRIC FAN SETUPS!!:
space the electric fan 1-1.5 inches AWAY from the radiator. dont believe me, try it. guarantee the temps will be the same if not lower then stock. plus you can let them run after the car turns off.

for me, electric fans are a plus. i know theres argument. but since im converting to manual i wont need the oil cooler and i can run some nice fal fans

Any SC300/400 aftermarket radiator will work with a GTE swap. What you will need to make it work is 1JZ-GTE or 2JZ-GTE hoses.
I have an ARC for a Toyota Soarer with Samco 2JZ-GE hoses in mine.
Supra radiators will work as long as you do the bottom cushion trick.

Dont say"CX Racing" around here. That's a bad word that means the same as cheap c r a p. For info the CX for supra works and looks exactly like the Mishimoto above. for $130. it's just a radiator folks. There is a code for like %15 off on the pay it forward thread.

Kind of confused how you would know to swap in an engine but not know which radiator to use? Just keep your stock radiator till its done It proved to be able to easily cool off a 500+ Hp na-t and you have a decent tranny cooler also. Also the mounting holes for the radiator didn't change when you installed a new engine so why swap it for something that wasn't there in the first place that was on a different chasis?
