1jz swap - what radiator are you using?
The radiator is one of the last things I need to buy before the swap is done.
There is good info here
http://intellexual.net/turbosc.html
But most of those have high end after market radiators. That is all good, I plan on going that route, but not yet. What OEM radiator would work? Would a stock SC radiator work with the 1jz or would a 1jz radiator work with the SC?
I am close to buying a stock 2jzgte rad, but am not sure that will work for this.
Basically what is the cheapest OEM radiator I can throw in there for now to get the car street ready? I just want it running so I can finish the interior and body work during the winter. I can upgrade engine components in the spring. The car is not going to be driven much until then anyway.
Going cheap........temporarily

Yeah, I'll upgrade a lot of this in the spring; intercooler, maybe custom downpipe, exhaust, radiator etc. But for now I just want it done!

What kinks you got? We're in the final stages and I figure we'll hit a few snags before all is said and done.

Thanks for the replies. If the stock rad holds up under those conditions in AZ, I'm convinced.
Sorry OLT - I thought about it as soon as I hit the post button.
My bad

I should have upgraded but the stock works great. I have two 12" electric fans ready to get mounted on it...just waiting on the scholarship check.... People who go with the new radiator like 1JZ300's, usually take it to the next level and get a new radiator hose, I know Greddy makes one. So, I would definitely feel comfortable going stock in your position.
