I need a bigger radiator. Have not been able to find info on what model's fit (dimensionally). I can make brackets, and cut a bigger hole thats no problem. I want to head to the wreckers and ask for a radiator out of a certain model.

Anyone know of factory radiators that fit in the approximately 18" x 24" space available?

Thanks

The 180SX/Silvia radiator looks like this if it helps.

Will sit lower once the two mounting posts at the bottom have holes drilled for them.

Totally missed the wiki content on radiator swaps.

I'm thinking the VW cooling system seems a little bit complicated to fit, that fact offsets the low price.

I think I will head to the u-pull-it with my measuring tape next weekend.

If its going to cool down a CA18 the VN 5ltr radiator is a special fits like a glove and does the job very well. All the hoses are on the right side. finish it off with a electronic fan and your kicking @ss.
