Aftermarket radiator for AA60 - recommendations?

[Hachiroku]

Need a radiator for my AA60 4agze project. Have been looking at the cheap aftermarket AE86 alloy ones on trademe and one of these should fit without any dramas. Are these all basically the same quality or are some better than others? Will they be up to the task for a 4agze? Any better suggestions? Cheers.

Radiator places get a lot of work from people who buy the cheap TM/Chinese ones. The customer finds out the hard way by costing them more on another radiator.

Have a look on this site to see if there is a thicker core option:

There are good catalogues out there - if you talk nicely, they m,ight let you have a look through them.

If you're wanting the alloy look then maybe Koyo but that's $$$

Definitely go for an AE86 one, as the water inlet/outlets will be in the right size and place, sorting that out is more of a pain in the ass than making mounts if you have to.

Thanks guys. Couldn't care less about the alloy look just want something that does a good job, isn't expensive and won't be a pain in the arse to fit. The chinese ones on TM certainly meet the last two criteria, just keen for some feedback on quality / performance from guys who've used them.

I had one, and am glad I gave it a wash out first... had a bunch of aluminium swarf/dust inside it.

Apart from that, worked great apart from being too small.

P.S. Pics of AA60 or gtfo

I had a chinease ali radiator, worked great for years. My friend bought a chinease one, lasted 5months. Lucky dip if its from china. Custom made ones are $600 around. Not a bad way to spend the money that will give you a radiator that fits and made to a high standard. Potentially a leaking radiator will spell the end for your engine as cheap onea do. Then you may wish you spent abit more

Haha can't do pics atm sorry. You will have seen it before though. Red POS with a half cage, had it on TM a couple of years ago. It's basically sat around since then, just had a recent dose of motivation.

My mate is the manager at fenix radiators and can do all sorts of radiators cheap.

Got my alloy ae111 for $200 with fan.
