Turbo radiator interchangeable with an NA?
Wondering if the radiator from a turbo can be swapped into an na? Late to late early to early?

I am currently running an 87 turbo radiator in my 83 N/A. No problems at all. Its actually more efficient. I just don't use the extra turbo cooling system for anything.

Nice to know, did you have to change any of the bracketry to get it to fit?

No changes. It fit just well where my old leaky N/A radiator was. Everything just fits..I did however, being cautious, replaced the older rubber fittings that hold the radiator in place with new from the dealership.That was in 2003.

What are the differences between the two radiators then. If they are the same shape in width and height is the turbo thicker?
