    Default 3SGE/AE86 radiator help

    Car - AE86

    motor - 3SGE Beams

    use - shed ornament/pile of expensive parts.

    problem - radiator

    occurs/started when - I went to fit my radiator

    personal situation - just got home from work, sitting in front of the computer...


    Right, I searched around for a bit but didnt quite find the answers I was looking for.

    3SGE Beams recently installed in my car, the AE71 it came out of used a OEM Mitsubishi EVO 6 radiator, so I bought an alloy EVO9 one for my conversion (Same sizing, outlets in better spots)... but it's miles too tall. Looking around for another radiator to go in fairly easy.

    The couple of options Ive come up with are subaru GDB/GD8 WRX but it may be a little tall, and a AE101 rad. How similar in sizing is the AE101 rad to the AE92 and AE86 rads?

    Im looking for a rad that will fit in a AE86 and the Bottom outlet must be on the pass side due to the crank pulley being close to the radiator, but top outlet can be anywhere on the pass side to the centre of the radiator, and I need an option that is available in alloy. Not worried about how it mounts, anything I do will require brackets etc to be made.

    Fire away.

    EVO 6 and EVO 9 are the same size from what i can see?

    Another option is a MK2 Golf radiator, but need to use a remote fill system.

    check with brad, but he hasnt been using an oil cooler either, and the standard rad has been super sweet i believe??

    and its not like he doesnt give it a canning

    some models also have an inbuilt transcooler that might be able to be set up as an oil cooler??

    i think it was like 125....??? delivered...

    just looked for pics but can find any...

    Already have an oil cooler kit for it. Im going to try and borrow the OEM Evo 6 radiator, see how that fits too.

    I dont understand why the EVO6 rad fits an AE71 but not an AE86? I thought there were fairly close, if not the same?
