Default JVTR aluminum radiator

so i got a radiator cause of a killer deal through a friend. i helped him out and he decided to do a bit of a favor for me as well. i got the JVTR aluminum radiator. Dual core radiator. about 2.5" thick and pretty nice. welds seem good as well. also got two 14" electric fans with it.

so heres the radiator. a dual core JVTR aluminum radiator for the mkiv supra [mt, no tranny oil coolers] on its way with intalling the fans and wire ups:


make it look clean now


front side:


before:


after:




just wanted to share, not sure if its all that helpfull but just to get the idea on how it would work~

note: my sc is a 5spd. auto sc's cant use this.

was it a direct drop in? How much did you pay for the radiator?

just a bit of advice from experience.

In the photo showing the front of the radiator where you can see the bolt - washer - nut.

change the washer for a larger one, and glue a thick layer of gasket cork to the washer that contacts the alloy tubes of the radiator so that it wont rub through as quick.

take it out a get someone to weld on tabs to mount the fans on and off the radiator tubes aswell (so you can fit the thickest coin between the radiator tube and fan)

almost a direct drop it. you can drop it in and itll fit/ run fine, but for a perfect you can do some modding that can take no more than an extra hour so.

If you wanted to use it for an auto I believe you could just use a small B&M cooler (or other company) and find a place to mount it.

I have an aluminum Mishimoto radiator from a Supra TT and I just used an external tranny cooler for my auto.

Looks nice man, really makes the engine bay a lot nicer! What fans are those? I need to get 2 cheap electric fans.

You are so lucky, no trac. control. Now if you didnt have all that ABS going on the passenger side it would look really clean.

haha i saw that thread of yours bro, very clean sc400. i actully read your thread up and down just incase i had a little thing to look out for.
and the the fans, dont have a brand... they just came with the radiator. all i know is that they are 14" 12v @ 80w each
