ka radiator+sr motor

[colombianbryan]

im right about to drop in the s14 sr but im running a stock ka radiator right now.... how long do you think it would last and should i buy an after market one as soon as possible?

[nrg]

what do you mean last?
KA and SR rad are the same but the top inlet ports are on the opposite sides.
you just need to run a longer hose or adapt one with two L-shape hose and a metal straight pipe.

Don't be lazy and it well save you a headache. Just buy a SR radiator!

dont run a stock ka rad if u plan on drifting road racing or what ever is needed for lots of full throttle inputs
sr20's tend to run hot
get a good radiator and be happy

If you have to use the KA rad,

Radiator Crossover Hose - KA Radiator w/ SR20DET [ ER-651 ] - Enjuku Racing - Performance Parts and High Quality Fabrication (http://www.enjukuracing.com/radiator-crossover-hose-radiator-sr20det-p-6485.html)


+1 for getting an aftermarket.

Personally, I wont run a stock radiator on an SR. An aftermarket radiator is $200, which is damn cheap insurance on a motor notorious for running hot. I have no doubts that plenty of people can and do run SR's with stock radiators, and thats fine. But I just spent $1800 on my motor, Id like to not replace it anytime soon.

But hey, thats just me.

aluminum block+underpowerd cooling system= extra money for repairs that couldve been used for aftermarket radiator and bigger turbo:bow:

If you don't want to run a name brand aluminum radiator, there's other cheap ones that still does its job. Try CXracing.

I didnt say I wont run a name brand, I said i wont run OEM.

For the $179.99 that a CXRacing radiator costs, Id rather spring for the Mishimoto at $200.

Im currently in the market actually, and Im debating between a used koyo or a new mishi. Im leaning towards mishimoto.
