i'm buying a Koyo radiator. i will, someday, have a JDM front end. i know showa and denso have different core heights. my question:

do i need the shorter one to fit a JDM front end, or does it really matter???

 

I guess the next question would be: Per manufactuer, what are the height measurements of each radiator?

I thought the radiator supports were the same height JDM/USDM?

i have no clue. that's why i was asking. i'm not sure the measurements of the radiators, either.. i'm just told they are different. i tried a search but nothing like this came up so i thought i'd start the thread

 

I don't think ya'll have a problem. friend of mine had a koyo on the usdm front and switched to jdm without a problem.

 

I actually had to put washers in the lower part of the mounting point of the JDM support to raise the Koyo radiator up for me.

all sounds good, guys. i've noticed the radiator in my car NOW sits lower than the stock one did. does anyone know which core is the taller of the two?

 

update for anyone that runs a search and finds my post: i'm told that one radiator core is slightly shorter than the other, height-wise. if i remember correctly, the USDM GSR comes with a Showa core, which is taller than the Denso by about 1/2-1". i had the info in a IM, but it's gone now. just a heads up to anyone that is looking for the same info. there is a difference. find out which radiator comes in a GSR and know that one has a taller core than the other. that is all.

thanks for the help, guys!
