July 11, 201114 yr Hi all, Any suggestions on where to get a radiator for this guy. Is "re-coring" an option or do we get one from Subaru $$$$$$ ? THANKS!
July 11, 201114 yr 1983 and Fuel injected... is That the EA81T or Does that Ride had an Engine Swap? More Background info is Needed.
July 11, 201114 yr I don't *think* they use a different radiator from the non-turbo's..... I would just get one from www.rockauto.com - they have the best price I've found for the EA81 radiators from Spectra. The "normal" EA81 radiator is a dual-core all-brass/copper unit anyway so it should be more than sufficient to cool the EA81T. I have one cooling a 200 HP EJ25 frankenmotor right now and it's plenty for that. I doubt the 95 HP EA81T would have any trouble. recoreing IS an option - if you know a good radiator shop they should be able to do it. GD
July 11, 201114 yr I agree with GD. A stock ea81 radiator should have no problem cooling an ea81t. I had a normal radiator in mine, and the little I drove it it worked fine. Although now that I think of it I ran in to a problem with the fan on the water pump hitting the edge of the radiator. So instead of using that set up I had two electric fans on mine with my own relay setup. It worked much better then the old fan on the water pump anyway.
July 12, 201114 yr The radiators are the same as any other ea81 body radiator with of course the addition of a trans cooler setup if you have the automatic trans installed in the car still.
July 14, 201114 yr Author Thanks for the help! Should I consider doing anything else during the change out process?
