Ok I'm having a hell of a time finding out any info on whether or not anyone makes aluminum radiators for lancers... I've searched alot for info, but I cant get on the computer very often so sorry if theres anything I missed.. thanks in advance for any info.

 

I'd say take measurements of the size, location of inlet/outlet, and size/location of the cap, then find a radiator shop locally, they should be able to custom order one for you. I haven't heard of any mass-produced ones yet

 

Don't the Evo ones match up?

 

I think I remember seeing something about the inlet/outlet being in different places, I could be mistaken tho

 

the in/out shouldn't matter. If you're in need of better cooling badly enough to justify a new radiator, you can buy a few extra feet of radiator hose, right? You can even fab your own mounts, so that shouldn't be a worry. My question is, can you squeeze it in the engine bay? And how do we find evo guys that have upgraded their rads that want to get rid of the cores- or should we just get the upgread they bought?

 

the EVo's radiator will fit...inlet/outlet shouldnt matter

 

is the evo all aluminum? is that what the guy wants...

 

There was a thread on here not too long ago where a vendor was selling an aluminum rad that supposedly fit in the lancer, I believe. Here it is https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=108746.

 

why do you want a better rad? No one here is pumping over 400 HP at flywheel.

Hell, I have a somewhat, beatup rad on my talon, and it's doing fine.

 

i think i remember someone on here who had an aluminum one for his lancer, he was sponsored by them or something. i think it was pwr

 

I can see doing it on a show car, a nice shiny rad can look good, but performance wise, unless your racing, or have a high horsepower,aftermarket turbo evo, can't see the necessity.

 

found kontradictions thread here. he says the evo one fit, and he even said he heard samco evo radiator hoses would fit ours, so it might be worth looking into

 

from a size perspective, any evo radiator (& aftermarket) should drop right in. just have to fit hoses. the stock evo radiator is made by Koyo who also makes aftermarket radiators. i would also try Fluidyne as they make alot of radiators for tons of cars.

 

my radiator is a calsonic, or were you referring to the evo's stock rad?

 

alright thanks alot for the info guys, i was just considering putting one in because it doesnt seem like too many people have them on lancers... just a thought though, thanks again.
