CHIM Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 I was able to fit a legacy radiator into my EA-81 wagon, wassn't to hard, had to make custom brackets but all in all with a welder on hand took like 15min. to get it done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bheinen74 Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 radiator hose diameters, size, location of outlet will be factors. why not just get a new one at radiatorbarn.com will save lots of hassle in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHIM Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Forgot to add. The legacy radiator had a "bubble" fill system on it, but that to was easily fixed with an adaptor found at most auto parts store's. As far as the hoses i stretched the bottom hose to fit the radiator and used a larger hose on top and just clamped it really tight, been in there the better part of 3 years and works great. I love the advantage of the bigger radiator on a really hot day while spooling the turbo ALOT, never gets hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
