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!
"1j is in!!! but has a few kinks to work out unfortunately"
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.
