would prob work..it's just an all aluminum OE replacement, whereas mishimoto is a racing replacement and much thicker.

 

Mishimoto is just another affordable radiator available for the consumer to purchase. Definitely would not go as far as stating it is a "racing" component but I guess it will do the job if your not making tons of horsepower.

 

i just meant as compared to koyo but yes you are correct.


fluidyne on the other hand....yummm hahah

 

i jus bought a koyo radiator...hopefully it fits nice

 

Make a mental note the difference in weight if you can...even better, actually weigh them.

 

Koyo radiator? They don't make full aluminum radiators for the GS. They make OEM replacements though.

 

i will make sure to remember to do that and ill post how the fitment is.
yea i got the oem replacement since my mechanic said it was one of the reliable ones out there.

but i have a question...will it still cool down my tranny fluid like the oem toyota one? or should i also get a tranny cooler also.

 

GE or GTE Rad? GE i would assume.

are the rads for GS3 and GS4 the same?

 

ok so i installed my oe replacement koyo radiator and it is a perfect fitment. the quality of the plastic on top and bottom of the radiator of the koyo doesnt seem as hard as the toyota one. they weight almost identical maybe off by a few ounces. i did have a problem with the drain plug..its leaking by drips. have to call them to see what they can do.

 

all the aluminum radiators i've found for the supras say that it is for the manual transmissions only. will this be a problem?

 

Manual transmissions do not have the 2 lines that help cool down the transmission. Going from Auto to manual is fine, but manual to auto is not if i am correct.

 

hmmmm, guess i gotta do a little more research. lol good thing this is one of the last things on the list to figure out. everything else should go smoothly

 

anyone have a link to one that would be compatible/optimal? thanks

 

I would imagine a generic radiator from Jegs or some other performance parts supplier would work with a little modification. I took a measurement of the stock radiator quickly and it was around 30"L x 19"H.

Here's one for $140 measures 28"L x 19"H.

Better size 31" x 19", core size of 25.625" x 17.5", cost $150.

Edit: I'm actually looking at using the LT1 radiator out of a 1993-1996 Camaro, as it's the same size as an LS1 radiator, but almost twice as thick at 1-3/8" thick for my LS swap.

 

Hello,

I know this is a old thread but I didn't see anyone mention what supra radiator to use, does it matter or are you guys fabbing up a JAZ70 or JAZ80? I am building a 2jz with an R154 and I just wanted to know which rad you guys were refering to.

Thanks
