DaveT Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 The last time I needed a radiator, it was near impossible to find a turbo 2 row. It's looking like I need to settle for a single row, as I don't have time for a project right now. I am not looking for a cheap one, I'm looking for a good one. I've always bough brass and copper ones, but it looks like the aluminum ones last a lot longer these days. Anyone have the name of a good source / part number?

Quidam Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I don't know of any dual core new available. I've looked hard. I came to the conclusion If I want one, to use two single core and have a radiator shop turn them into a dual core. Having a set of dual core radiator tanks would be a huge advantage.

DaveT Posted January 19, 2016 Author Share Posted January 19, 2016 I do have a couple of dual row radiators saved for rebuilding. I was thinking of getting a single to use while I search out someone or the parts to do the rebuild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mm88swrt Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 (edited) Try these guys https://www.radiatorexpress.com/product.asp?part=1989+SUBARU+GL-10++-+1%2E8+liter+H4+RADIATOR+TURBO+REPLACEMENT+W%2F+STRAIGHT+OUTLET&part_id=40020&aaia_id=1268748 I have this exact radiator in my shop right now... Still new but 2 years old. The picture was different when I bought it though. It is not a direct fit. The inlet and outlet would work. Fill hole would be under your core support. Fan shroud holes are wrong. It would work if you wanted to fab it in. And if anyone wants mine they can have it for way less than that sight wants. Plus shipping if needed!

silverhelme Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Now that you mention it, they both look like EA81 radiators. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 I'm thinking about whether I want to deal with the awkward position of the cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mm88swrt Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) I'm thinking about whether I want to deal with the awkward position of the cap. I'll sell you mine if you decide to go with it. I literally have no use for it. Its brand new. If you're stateside that is! Edited January 21, 2016 by mm88swrt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhelme Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 You could get something like this and put it in the thermostat hose http://www.summitracing.com/parts/hre-3423/overview/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bought a Spectra but turned out not to be the one advertised (via Amazon) so returned it. I also need a water pump if anyone has one.

scoobiedubie Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 There are some after market dual core radiators that the mfr says fit, but they don't work right. The reason is that the hole for the thermoswitch on the right side, was not properly constructed so that there is not enough thread to hold the thermoswitch. That thermoswitch tells the auxiliary fan when to turn on. Radiator specialist shops carry the dual core. Take along your thermoswitch to make sure that it will hold it and maintain a seal.

SiriusBlack Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 @sull you can get brand new water pumps for the 81 and 82 engines from rockauto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
