My buddy said hes going to order it for me right now if I can confirm is fits! :laugh:

91 7mgte turbo rad for my 5M, will it work with a 2jzGTE swap? Does it have enough cooling power, its brass/copper core.

$120 new

Suggestions or comments welcomed.

Whether it will fit or not, I don't know. The MKIII has two rubber stops that the two pegs on the bottom of the rad set in. Then up top, there are two half-circle clamps that bolt to the body.

As far as cooling capacity, the stock MKIII will cool efficiently for quite a bit of power. I've seen a lot of guys putting down 350+ with the stock MKIII rad.

Just make sure that the rad is completely isolated from the chassis/frame. If it's not isolated, stray currents will eat throught the core in a matter of weeks.

If you have means of measuring the resistance, measure between Battery +B and the rad (once it's installed). It should be around 50mV. Less is better, more is NOT.

Good luck! :)

Yes it will work. Ask Dave as he has a MK3 rad and a 2jzgte.
