  • Best place to purchase a stock turbo radiator?

    I'm looking to purchase a stock factory Z31 turbo radiator. Tia

    Z running hot while cruzing and boosting on th highway, but cools back down when idle. Z runs around 94-98cc.........way too hot for me. :x

      radiators.com sells them for like $140 if I recall correctly.

      now and then they pop up on ebay for $100 to $120+SH. Be sure it says TURBO so you know it's a dual core.

          Can you actually look at the radiator and tell that its a 2 row and not a one row radiator? I purchased a new one at O'rielley auto parts store and it should be in today.

            Yeah, the core thickness on the two core will be almost as thick as the endtanks, while the single is half as thick (maybe about an inch total?).

              You can look through the lower hose outlet and see the 2 rows

                I have the stock radiator off my SS that I'm not using since I put in an aluminum to facilitate my IC install

                  Wow, your radiator must have some crapola in it or something. I've never seen mine get hot. Then again, the only time I did any hard track driving was on a ~5*c day. And i'm also just using the stock gauge, so who knows how warm it is, really.

                    Definitely check the core. I have ordered turbo dual core rads and they ended up only having one. I normally keep them in stock, but am out right now. I will order more next week, so if anyone needs them (or any other part) just let me know.
