I know I've seen this answer in the forums before but I can't find the thread anymore. I'm looking into buying a new radiator and I also want to delete my engine fan and go with electric ones , now that being said my ?ion is does it matter on the transmission type on which radiator to buy ??? My car is an automatic.
I think I know the answer but I want to make sure before I go and spend money where I shouldn't .

I believe it has more to do with s13/s14 and engine than the transmission. Most don't offer a cooler for the transmission anyway.

I know I sound like a noob and partly I am I ask because all the radiators I've looked into such as mishimoto or Isis or fluidyne all have it labled as ka24de mt . And I would hate to blow 300$ bucks on a simple ?ion like no u need a AT radiator not MT one

yeah there is a difference in auto or manual .. if u have an automatic just go to ur local parts store and get 160 dolla radiator for automatic. the performance rads are for manual cars so dont spend ur money on a badd ass rad when u dont even need that type of cooling . just my 2 cents

See that is the kind of answer I needed , but is it ok to delete my engine fan and get electric bc I want more space in my engine bay I plan on converting my transmission but not til I can find a shop or mechanic I'm comfortable with in my city

well electric would free you space but if u want good cooling ur best bet is to stick with shroud and clutch fan u will get more air through that rad then electric fans,
