86subaru Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 since my pc went down and i borrowed a different one , i can't remember all the web sites, i need a radiator for my 88 turbo a/t wagon 2 row Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soobscript Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 http://www.radiatorexpress.com/product.asp?part=1988+SUBARU+RX++%2D+1%2E8+liter+H4+RADIATOR+Name+Brand+NON+TURBO+2%2DRow+All+Metal+Upgrade&part_id=40020&aaia_id=1270202 That's what I bought. CSF brand. All metal. Perfect fit. Identical to the old one I pulled out. The picture is correct. Quote 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. Quote 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. Quote 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) Quote 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 that is cheaper than what tim paid for a lexus es250 (toyota camry) radiator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
