What radiator to use??
Hi. Put a hole in my AE85's radiator today, took it out and realised how small it is. Eventually I will have a 16v 4age of some description in there so I figure ill change it now.
What radiators are good to use?
What are you guys using?

A radiator from a first generation RX7 is supposed to be a near direct fit for the Hachi and twice the thickness of a stock AE86 one.

I had some problems with the cooling with the stock radiator and the mechanical fan...

I would love a koyo one! Very nice indeed? Might explore the Camry option or see if I can put in a core twice the size (thickness) but still use the AE85 end tanks. That way I can keep the TRD radiator cap.

I will probably settle on a Koyo myself. Although I have read that a Toyota Hiace radiator is a good 3 core option and ideal if you're planning a GZE conversion.

Hey David, how about introducing yourself properly here on the forums. You've been participating for a while now and seem to have a pretty cool hachi. I'm sure everyone here is interested in you and your ae86, I am for starters Smile
