Hi Guys,
In the process of putting together a ke25 with 4agte motor & wondering about upgraded radiators. having looked around it seems that mazda rx3/4/7 radiators could & have been retrofitted - the water pipes are in the right places & dimensionally it's pretty close. anyone have any experience with these radiators? or alternative units?? any help greatly appreciated T |

Early X2 & X3 Hyundai excel radiators seem all the rage these days, being fitted into everything from TA22's to AE86's etc.
Perhaps investigate one of those. -------------------- QUOTE (ke11restorer @ Dec 3 2009, 11:20 PM)  i said cars. the ke15 is a work of art pete, luckily....

peter,
i have put both camry & excel radiators into ae86's in the past. i have a stock ae86 radiator at home & it is too big for the 25. might just have to take measurements & go wondering around the wreckers i guess!! thanks anyway T |

Have seen an excel rad, not sure which one, in an AE86 and it looked to be quite a bit narrower than the AE86. Certainly needed some blanking off down the sides.
I would imagine that if it fits in TA/RA's it would have to go pretty close in a KE2x? I will also be keen on something for mine at some stage, so shall add it to my list of "things to look out for at the wreckers". -------------------- QUOTE (ke11restorer @ Dec 3 2009, 11:20 PM) i said cars. the ke15 is a work of art pete, luckily....

I looked at getting a 3 core put into my RX4's end tanks (without moving an outlet) and was quoted around $400!!! I ended up getting an ASI performance alloy cooler for about the same price as this one.... http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ASI-52mm-aluminum-a...=item45f3fede8f You'd just want to make sure it would fit in the KE2X width wise. -------------------- I am just a worthless liar, I am just an imbecile. I will only complicate you, trust in me and fall aswell.

got a standard ae86 one sitting in the engine bay right now. too wide
other options to be explored: mazda 626 rwd ford laser kb type suzuki vitara all look possible - but some will need tank mods. |

EK-EG Civic radiators are a smaller size, might be a good fit?
