Aluminum Radiators and the Factory Fan, Fan Shroud, and Mounts

[supradjza80]

Hi,

I am wanting to compile a list of Aftermarket performance radiators which fit the stock fan and fan shroud without modification. Including the auxiliary/A/C fan. I am looking at maybe buying one but want it to fit the stock fan components and the stock mounts. Here is a list of all aluminum performance rads that I know of, just need to know if the stock stuff fits or not.

Koyo - 3 row (53mm core) - Part number R0171
Fluidyne - 2 row I believe (38mm core) part number FHP11-86SUP
Mishimoto - 3 row (2.2" core) part number MMRAD-SUP-86
PWR - unknown core, ~2" core part number PWR1973
Ebay crap - JVT 2" core (pretty sure nothing fits)

I will update this thread as I get more information and we can come up with a conclusive group which fits in the factory mounting locations, using the engine drive fan and shroud, along with the auxiliary fan.

Thanks,
Dave

UPDATE

RADIATORS WHICH FIT ALL FACTORY COMPONENTS - ACCORDING TO FORUM MEMBERS

PWR - 57mm core- part number PWR1973
Fluidyne - 38mm core - part number FHP11-86SUP

PWR is a 57mm core and it all fits Dave.

How about some part numbers too for that great list?

I have a Fluidyne and the stock fan/shroud fit just fine.

^ x2. Only thing id recommend is sealing the shroud to the radiator with some weather stripping... And i have the tacoma clutch fan, puts the fan a tad bit closer to the radiator.

Can any one confirm the 1 or 2 row fact on the fluidynes? Their website lists it as a single row for the mkiii.
Whats stock?

Fin counts would be good too!

 

[grimreaper]

only koyo i know of is a 53mm R core, Doesnt state the multipass N at the end of the prodcut code either... so im not sure if its 2 row.

 

[supradjza80]

Alright, I will keep the 1st post update with part numbers as well as what fits and what does not fit. Thanks for the info everyone.

 

[supradjza80]

Ok, with regard to Koyo, the part number in question is R0171, which I beleive I read was a 3 row radiator. Please correct this if it is wrong. I am having trouble finding the one which I thought was a 2 row so maybe I had two websites which were both referring to the R0171 but listed different numbers of rows. Once someone with one chimes in we can update the actual number of rows for this radiator.

to much bs out there to get a definite answer...
Koyo part number Rxxx denotes the 53mm core. If its a multi-pass radiator there should be an N on the end of the part number...

look http://www.koyoradracing.com/about/technology.asp

and now the one for our cars..http://www.koyoradracing.com/products/radiators.asp?make=Toyota

Look at the radiator for the 180sx, clearly denotes a multipass with R core.. Look at the part number too. 180 sx core first one on top left.

I cant find anything from the manufactor that says its 2 row.. Only place im seeing that from is vendors on the web. The more i dig, the more i get the feeling a LOT of people are buying/bought based on bad data...

Same goes for the fluidyne. Word throught the grapevine is that their QC has gone to shit lately... Their website clealr states the mkiii is a single row. FHP11-86SUP part number, second to last product listing. (scroll down) Fluidyne specs

 

[grimreaper]

fluidyne part numbers show the rows in the first #. FHP30 is 3 rows, FHP20 is 2, FHP11 is 1 row.

Now i haven't bothered to call the manufactures but considering this is DIRECTLY from their website, I'm inclined to consider it accurate over other vendors..

I just bought a Mishimoto radiator, and I've yet to test fit everything. (It's still sitting in the box in my garage).

I can tell you for a FACT that it's a three core radiator! It looks like it'll fit fine, and it has all of the mounts for the auxiliary fan and shroud. I'll report back with the fitment when I test fit it in the car.

What about the 3 row Megan Racing rad?

 

[grimreaper]

what about it? pull up the manufactor link and add some info...

 

[supradjza80]

I will update the original post with this. I am really wanting fitment information on the mishimoto as it seems to have all the features I am looking for, and a big core, for a good price point. Also I am not sure if others care about this but should we add the drain cock to the information link? I really like having the drain cock on the rad so you don't have to pull the hoses. I am pretty sure the mishimoto has the drain.

 

[deabionni]

Yes, the Mishimoto does have the drain; and the plug comes from the factory with teflon tape on the drain bolt's threads.

I took the stock radiator out today, and will take some comparison pics tomorrow; and start test fitting the radiator to make sure everything bolts up/fits. (Of course, the rubber grommets that the radiator sits in at the bittom will need to be shaved a bit so the hood will still close; but that's the only fitment issue I'm hoping to face).

 

[supradjza80]

I don't want this thread to die, anybody else have any fitment comments on aluminum radiators

 

[supradjza80]

This thread will not die

 

[TweeT91109]

mine had some clearance issues with the clutch fan, but im getting slim electric fans to solve that, other then that, it fits in the oem mounting brackets....its a flydine btw

 

[grimreaper]

what issues?
