pinoy_dorifto · 03-22-2009, 09:58 AM

sup guys, just crashed my car and im looking for a radiator, is there a difference between the N/A and Turbo radiator???? just making sure before i get one''' thank you very much***

they are slightly different i believe...seems like (when i was shopping for a new one) the turbo unit was slightly larger and possibly different ever so slightly in the way every thing matches up hoses wise...seems like i remember people on here fitting in a non turbo rad into a turbo car and visversa...

My mechanic accidentally ordered a turbo radiator for my NA. It took some modification to make it fit.

pinoy_dorifto · 03-24-2009, 12:08 PM

what kind of modifications??? is its better if i just get the one for NA???

the turbo radiator is like 2" wider than the na one. But it still should fit in your na car with no problem.

I wish i still had both of them out of my cars cause i would measure it and take a picture.

The car's frames are identical so i can't see any issues...

pinoy_dorifto · 03-24-2009, 02:22 PM

yeah, frames are the same.. i thought probably some bolts or holes that doesn't match up''' ???

Mark_Dorman · 03-24-2009, 02:24 PM

All the bolt holes will be there. All mr2's came with holes pre-drilled for right and left hand drive cars/turbo and NA.

Turbo radiator on a N/A

poopeeroo · 03-26-2009, 03:19 PM

the NA fans will not bolt on to the turbo radiators. it needs a liitle modification.

are you buying the new oem radiator? if yes i suggest you look into the performance mishimoto radiators that is on sale now
