Radiator Q

Anyone know if you can fit any aftermarket STI/WRX aluminum radiators in the SVX?

They do NOT fit.
They are the right height, and the right width, BUT they have different fan mounts, the lower outlet and tank are in the wrong spot, the upper and lower mounts are also in the wrong places, BUT,
call me!;)

The lower outlet is not in the wrong spot. STi radiator here fitting right up to the EG33 pump inlet just fine using the stock rad hose ;)

Gee, the last two STI radiators that I bought from two different companys had the lower hose outlet about four inches farther to the left.
I'm not saying that the stock hose will not work, I am saying that the STI/WRX radiator will not fit.
Boxer do you have this in an SVX?

I just want to know if a "STOCK" anything can just bolt up to an SVX!
I have hundreds of dollars in trying to find a replacement radiator, THOUSANDS in transmission and brake parts, fuel injectors, MAFs,
the freeking list just DOES NOT STOP!:mad:

PLEASE God, don't tell Di!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!: eek:
