ae71 20v S/T Radiator Alternative

[ke_70_blue]

im currently running the stosck 71 rad. with a unknown thermo witch i think is a 10"
it runs nice and i havnt had an problems yet.
wiring is easy to create, it just depends if you want to connect it to a manual switch or to the ecu.. just mak sure you have the air sucking through towards the motor

i have hyundai radiator on my sprinter. the fan on it looks exactly the same as a holden barina/swift early 90s fan.

Any pics or an explanation of how you mounted the ebay spec radiator? I've just got one and working out how to mount it at the moment.

Mine is mounted different to stock. I have angled it forward slightly for a few reasons.

But the ebay ones should pretty much bolt in, never had a problem with them before.

Well the ae71 was mounted with like a U section covered in rubber holding it up underneath, and 2 bolts going through it into the radiator support at the top. The new radiator I got off ebay has the 2 metal sprig things on the bottom that mount into round rubber grommets and the top has sections for 2 brackets to go over the top of it to hold it down. This was supposed to be an ae86 radiator, which I was assuming would be the same as an ae71.

So did I get sent the wrong radiator or are the ae71 and ae86 radiators different?

They are different arn't they.
From what I've seen all AE86 are like how you have described, has those U shaped hooks at
the top that bolt to the top on the rad support.
I'm even more confused though, the AE71/TE72 Alloy radiator that I bought of Ebay has mounts
on the sides not the top. Mine sounds completely different to what you described for your AE71.

im using a half fucked ae71 rad in my ke70 with 16v, and my thermo switch was rooted (for about 3 weeks) never over heated, but i dont do alot of traffic driving, but there were times that it would sit idling for 20 mins or so

[Moebius]

Yeah you're right, the ae71 mounts are on the side not the top.
