Would it be worth swapping a radiator off a 1990-1991 3S-GE, for my 1986 3S-GE one? Would there be much difference between the two?
What engine is the 5th gen running? I would assume, that they are about the same, as far as the radiator... If there is any difference, it is going to be minuet...
^Yeah, that sucked for us; the 1st gen 3SGE is a marvelous little engine. It would've been great to see the improved gens :cry:
Okay, yous Americans are really confusing? :? lol Any Aussies around here who can answer my question? :lol:
If your pulling it from a wreckers, take a tape measure with you and measure out everything. See if it will just drop in, or if you have to modify the lines/brackets for it. It doesn't take much to figure out. As far as an upgrade goes, its just a stock radiator. Not much of an upgrade there. If thats what you are looking for you 'd probably have to modify up a ST205 or a ST185 radiator to fit.
I dont really want to drive hours away to the wreckers just to check the measurments, and than find out theres no use using it.
Not really, about USD$300 shipping included. What is that, maybe AUS$360? We're getting some custom made ST165 radiators as we speak: http://alltrac.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php ... highlight= Just plug the turbo coolant line and it's good to go.
Think about it: they're shipped from China, so you're closer than we are here in North America. They have quoted me USD$325 to Canada, so it couldn't be more than that.
I'm going to measure up an old ST162 radiator soon and confirm if the ST184 radiator fits, as I may be buying one for my white lightning. 'Tis on my to-do list. Also, just to clarify - We only got the later 3SGE's in MR2's over here, 5th and 6th gen's got 5SFE. There are a few gen 2 and 3 3SGE's over here from Celica origin though from 1/2 cuts and the like.
