Ok so I know there is an aluminum MX83 radiator out there, but its a little expensive. There are a few MK3 and MK4 radiators that look promising, and I am guessing that there are a few other types of radiators out there that will work, just trying to get a list of ALL the radiators out there that are close to fitting in a MX chassis.
What are you running and what was needed to make it work? Looking for a cheap aluminum radiator that all I need to do is make brackets to get it to work, but has close to stock hose placements.

did I miss something...I have read around and the only thing I have found is someone saying a Lexus LS one fit with very little extra help. Everyone else just say, go and buy a bunch of OEM ones for a pull-a-part place and try it out.

thats because no one has found anything that works (bolt in)
not looking for bolt in...just matching hose inlets and close to the same size. there arent many junk yards my way so its hard for me to just go out and pull a few and try them out..
sorry

if thats the case, then there are a few topics on the subject,
as a matter of fact, i know that rad manufacturers list those dimensions

sorry for the noob question, just trying to order something soon since my cars average temps are around 200-205 F right now and its only been in the 80s and 90s so far this year, nothing too hot yet. Im afraid what might happen in traffic if it gets hotter

i don't know nothin bout x7 alloy radiators... someone mentioned some kind of a supra radiator that matched the x7s.... but i have never seen the search button collaborate with a word so well before as it has with the word "radiator". you should see it... thing of beauty.
also..... i think you will find that quoting peoples quotes directly above your quotes will not bode well for your immediate person.

I did, but like I said all I saw was one guy say Lexus LS400, then everyone else said go to a junk yard and try a few out. I may just order a IS and try it out, if its close I have a mig welder that I can make some brackets out of, I just have no TIG setup for aluminum yet.
