Goosie_the_xiii Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 I just recently dropped in a KA24DE in the dime. I have seen CX Racing has a radiator that fits this set up. I have looked and have found a bunch of different types but wanted to see what kind some of y'all are running? Post a pic if you can. Quote Link to comment
demo243 Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 AFCO 80104N - It does require a reducer on the KA side with the hoses I used. There may be a better one out there now- I do believe their are a few other people using this Afco radiator on their KA swaps. Here’s a link to more info on this radiator in my build Quote Link to comment

datsuntech Posted December 13, 2022 Report Share Posted December 13, 2022 VW Rabbit MK1 rad. Nice smaller rad that fits well and cools awesome, cheap as well. It has a factory spot for a fan temp switch that works well. Use a VW Bus rad cap so you can have an overflow tank otherwise it leaks all over the ground. I've been using it for over 15 years and honestly wouldn't use anything else unless I absolutely had to for space constraints. 5 Quote Link to comment

I had some angle aluminum welded on the sides for mounting, as I am using the AFCO fan shroud setup 2 Quote Link to comment
