May 14, 200718 yr Just looking for pictures of the modifications needed to put a EJ rad. into the EA engine compartment. Pictures of EJ rad.s in already in place would be helpful too. Thanks.
May 15, 200718 yr Sorry, no pictures but I do know whats needed. If you remove the EA radiator you will see where the front chassis member (bit that the rad bolts to) curves up either side to the chassis rails. You need to cut the curves out and weld in square reinforcing that doesn't intrude on the space.
May 15, 200718 yr Author Are you talking about cutting the corners behind the lower rad mount? I was hoping there is a way to put the EJ rad on top of the rad mount like the EA fits in.
May 15, 200718 yr Are you talking about cutting the corners behind the lower rad mount? I was hoping there is a way to put the EJ rad on top of the rad mount like the EA fits in. Where the rad sits on the chassis, on the left and right of that beam it curves up, that's what I'm talking about. You have to cut these, you can't just sit it on top of these.
May 15, 200718 yr here is a turbo legacy or JDM WRX rad. (they are the same) in my 88 GL with a EJ20G swap!!! you have to cut some of the rad core support out, then weld on some tabs to hold the bottom of the rad. it use to sit in the holes to the left up on the ledge. now it sits in the little holes i made down below on the right. more pics on my webpage -=Suberdave=- www.suberdave.com
May 16, 200718 yr just one question though... why an ej radiator? or do you have a ej motor? csf two row all metal has made my cooling system very happy
May 16, 200718 yr just one question though... why an ej radiator? or do you have a ej motor? I run dual core EA81 rad with my EJ22. Only time it needs the fans is if it sits still for more then a few minutes, or when I'm reving the hell out of it offroading slowly up a hill. Still, if I had a turbo EJ I would probably upgrade the radiator. Most people here in Australia just buy a 3 core EA81 aftermarket alloy radiator. But I like my budget modded EA81 version.

May 28, 200718 yr My Rx with the EJ251 is running my stock single row radiator! (course I gutted the A/C)
May 28, 200718 yr It's a EJ-EA swap and I don't want to have to adapt hoses to fit. It all makes sense now..
