Default Sc400 aftermarket radiator????

I search!!!! Koyo Radiator but i think it was made for the supra. Is there one that fit the o.m.e. fan for the SC400? If theres any pics of aftermarket radiator on a Sc400 post it. I'll like to see your setup.

Thanks

As far as I know they wont, bc the supra and 300 have smaller radiators than the 400 so the mounting brackets aren’t the same... could u fit it... yes…
but again those radiators are meant to cool I6's not a V8... just some food for thought... unless you go after market....

The Koyo all aluminum Supra TT three inch radiator is massive and more than capable of handling the SC400 v-8.

The 2jz-gte engine's output (both h.p. and heat generated) are higher than the SC4. Also, the engine bays all have the same bolt patterns, your SC400 even has a fender pass through for a SMIC as found in the Soarer.

The TT KOYO radiator that is an upgrade over the oem Lexus or Toyota TT. It bolts right up, but I have no idea about where the radiotor hose routing is on the SC4.

It won't fit "as is". The Supra radiator is not as tall as the radiator designed for the sc. Fan shrouds are different, too. I know this from experience.

You can run a Supra radiator, but it will need two rubber lower shock mounts stacked together for it to fit snug when clamped in place by the upper radiator rubber mounts.

Are you running it now? Do you have a Sc300 or 400?
