Radiators - idea's, what fits.

[assassin10000]

So, after a couple years of running a Hyundai Accent radiator on my 3sg. I've decided I want more cooling capacity.

Anyone got suggestions for off the shelf radiators that would be double or triple core. Fit relatively easy, IE: not making a new core support, making brackets or hoses may be ok. And be a worth while upgrade compared to having a custom radiator made.

Outlets preferably on the left side of the engine bay. Passenger side for you guys (drivers for the LHD world).


Pic's if you've got them. Here's my current setup:

Koyo rad have one outlet is not on passenger side but not hard to run a pipe or maybe u can find only that has it best for the money

Koyo/Mishimoto AE86 radiators have both inlet/outlet on the wrong side. Or I would never have sold mine lol.

I recently had a similar task and spent eleventy billion years scouring radiator catalogues such as this one:

You can't get a cheap eBay 3core alloy replacement Accent radiator?

I can wish lol. They don't make one... anywhere I can find.


Are you doing a similar setup now?

No, unfortunately no 3S for me, I was just replacing the dodgy second hand radiator I used to get the 4AGZE running in my car... 10 yrs ago. I needed a narrower one so I can run SC piping beside it through the opening in the radiator support panel.

Clearly not enough Accents on the track for them to hit "race, drift, drag, upgrade" ebay fame.

Dug up this thread:


According to another member here an AE101 will fit with relocated lower mounts, and stock upper mounts.

EVO 4/5/6 will fit with webbing mods for cap. Possibly lower mounts moved too.




(EVO 3 listed in link, but outlet in wrong place for a 1/2/3)

EDIT: after further research this one appears to be a Tercel/Paseo (EL5x) radiator, installs very clean:

Civic it up.





Get a dual or triple core.

I'd looked at Civic radiators, but ended up with one from an AE71. Slightly wider I think and the mounts were pretty easy.

From experience, ST162 (possibly the same as ST20x above) fit easily, including their twin thermofans. S13 radiator required bashing the bonnet webbing to clear the top tank.
