I'm looking for a radiator that will mount in an s13 and cool a VH45. Most of the radiators I've seen for 240's have the intake hole on the top, drivers side. The coolant intake for the VH is on the passenger side. Anyone know of a radiator that'll fit in an s13 with the top intake hole on the passenger side and are sufficient enough to cool a V8? I think I could use a Koyo SR20 radiator with fans since they're pretty heavy duty. Intake hole is on the wrong side though. Lots of radiator hose stretching the radiator kind of looks silly.

Get an aftermarket radiator for a Ka24de. I will be using a Mishimoto for my vh powered s13.

A VH45 shouldn't need a very big radiator. The engine isn't that big, doesn't make that much power, and has no turbos to get hot as fuck. A stock radiator with a good fan setup would probably work fine. If anything a larger KA aluminum radiator should be more than enough.

Would this work? CXRacing is relatively well known, better than Godspeed anyway. They also have one with fans for $30 more.

I ran a griffin, which has the inlet/outlet correct, on my vh which worked great and still use the same one on my lsq29 with custom hoses. Works like a champ with a Taurus fan on low speed only and a spam controller.

Know a few guys abusing these in the LS swapped cars with no issues. That exact dimension fits between the stock location of the S14 chassis (not inside of the rails like Chasebay though).
