Which radiator after swap?

Post by Crashsector »

So my EJ22T will be swapped into my 91 L here in a day or two. That leaves me with only a few loose ends to tie up, mainly the radiator.

Will a stock WRX radiator fit and have the proper connections for the coolant overflow tank?

Is there a specific aftermarket radiator I can use? Would one made for a WRX work?

As a side note... does anyone have any decent diagrams/photos showing the routing of the coolant lines from the radiator to the overflow tank and from the tank to the turbo? The lines were torn off of the engine before I got the car and I'm not too familiar with turbo motors.

As always, thanks in advance!

Your radiator question can be answered with a search that will reveal threads like http://bbs.legacycentral.org/viewtopic.php?p=56124, http://bbs.legacycentral.org/viewtopic.php?p=111370, and http://bbs.legacycentral.org/viewtopic.php?p=130511. And maybe one of those threads would be appropriate for the discussion rather than this new thread.

As for a diagram, here you go:
