DrKrazy Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 I get mine through http://www.performanceradiator.com/, but I do it through my Brother's shop (to get better prices) and they are local. Have one in each of my EA82's (and a few in the past) never had a problem with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSF brand. All metal. Perfect fit. Identical to the old one I pulled out. The picture is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samo Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Another vote for Performance Radiator. I don't even remember how many radiators I've bought from them, and they're always fit great, not to mention the customer service rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooziewhatsit Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 the CR-1269 is a direct bolt in for the 85 turbo I used to have. I got it from Radiators.com for ~130ish I think? Was able to just barely get the stock cooling fan onto the water pump. edit: oh yea, it also has the transmission cooler lines for the auto tranny.

Big, all metal bugger. Works great. Was ~$140 shipped overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ausubaru92 Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 If i have a turbo ea82, do i need a 2 core radiator or will i get away with the standard wagon radiator, only running stock boost. Cheers (sorry for the hijack) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86subaru Posted April 4, 2006 Author Share Posted April 4, 2006 looked it up it says non turbo 2 row metal radiator ?? radiator express for a rx,122.95 $,so this is the correct one for my 88 a/t turbo wagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soobscript Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 looked it up it says non turbo 2 row metal radiator ?? radiator express for a rx,122.95 $,so this is the correct one for my 88 a/t turbo wagon I replied to your PM, but I'll throw this out in the open. That is the exact unit I used. It works for turbo, I don't know why it says non-turbo. 2 row, all-metal, CSF, perfect OE mounting, has holes for auto tranny fluid. Thicker than stock (since it is 2-row), so less room to work on front of engine. I removed my mechanical fan, no use for it. Actually, I drove around for over a month without any fan...

DaveT Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 2 row, all-metal, CSF, perfect OE mounting, has holes for auto tranny fluid. Thicker than stock (since it is 2-row), so less room to work on front of engine. I use the CFS 2 row turbo in all of my non turbo wagons - it is rated for more BTUs than the single row, and the cooling system is marginal on these cars anyway. I have to cut a couple of pieces of sheet metal in the front so it will fit the non turbo cars. I also change the A/C condenser brackets to block less air at the same time. Depending on the studs on the engine driven fan, I have had to shorten them. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
