Just go standard. Had a standard 20V radiator in my AE92 with turbo Silvertop and no fans and it never got past halfway

the standard 4age radiator is a pretty capable unit, just find a mint late model one to replace yours

Another to confirm the std unit is capable.

Runs fine in my 4agte, and its hard a fair bit of thrashing.

just to disagree , im on my 4th standard one :oops:

things to make sure of tho....

dont use too a cap that is rated too high , i had issues with a trd radiator cap , and once i changed it i never had that problem again. :? the old plastic top tanks get really brittle over time when exposed to heat (ie right by ur turbo) and spring leaks.

do secure the radiator properly.. i used cableties and everything i could find in addition to the 2 top mounting brackets. i damaged a core from it flexing backwards under hard or sudden accelleration into a hoseclip on the intake behind it , problem hasnt reoccured since i fixed it properly.

other than that , yeh make sure you have a decent latemodel one with good top tanks and she'll be right mate :D
