[Mk2] [Turbo] Upgrade cooling radiator?

Post by obster »

Hey guys,

I just had the front bumper off to get resprayed and noticed the cooling radiator is looking a little sorry for itself, its not leaking and i have no issue with it but have seen this and was wondering if its worth changing.

Just wondered if anyone may have upgraded their rad and know if its worth the extra money?

Thanks

Stock Toyota radiator is adequate for a replacement. Mishimoto is a good upgrade, but not really required.

Just had a look on the invoice. It doesn't mention a part number, just "Radiator, SW20."

Peter Gidden will be able to sort you with the part number mate.

MR2 Ben also supplies them:
