Radiator Issue

[cherryE10]

is it possible to use an E90 sedan radiator into a ke50 liftback with 2tb engine?

According to the repco catalogue, AE90 radiators are 325mm high, 665mm wide & 16mm thick. Top hose roughly in the centre, bottom hose on left hand side looking from the back.

 

There is no listing for a KE50.

 

Start measuring.

 

However, even if you can physically fit it in, don't underestimate the problem with mounting it. The bottom of the radiator has moulded lugs that slot into rubber bushed brackets either bolted or welded to the lower radiator support panel. And it also has brackets that are fitted to the top radiator support that press the radiator down into these lugs.

 

Years ago I worked out that I could put a V6 Camry radiator into my AE86 (mainly for the twin core) but even with that I had to add in new brackets at the bottom, and reposition the top brackets.

 

Not as simple as just bolting in a re cored KE50 radiator with adapted hose outlets........

I dare say a ke50 one would just be the same as 30/55.

You could get one of the alloy ones off Ebay and get the hose inlet/outlet repositioned. I can't remember where they are for t's.

The issue could be T-series versus K-series, are inlet/outlet positions the same?

Nope.
