GT4 Radiator ? Options

[NWCelica]

just wondering if the radiator from a GT4 ST205 will fit my 98GT ....... Thanks

[delusionz]

Theres nothing special about the GT4 radiator at all, its the same in any Celica

Gen6 that is.

Dude, I highly recommend just order a Koyo Radiator on eBay or something. You get two slim fans with it (trust me, you want those) and it is cheaper now than when I bought mine (mine was $400 shipped, now they are like $338 w/slim fans shipped). Just keep in mind you will need a bigger radiator cap, and they recommend a Blitz cap (which cost me at the time $30 shipped).

[delusionz]

food for thought - the fans on the OEM radiator slightly rubs against the turbocharger in a 3s-gte, if the koyo and its "slim" fans is thicker than OEM then it wont fit with 3s-gte.

The GT4 Radiator is slightly thinker than the non GT4 radiators.....although I have seen a GT4 run on an st202 radiator without issue so chances are there is no real difference.

If your GT4 radiator is rubbing on the turbo then somethings wrong as there is a good gap between the rad fans and the turbo on mine.

A Koyo radiator with slimline spal type fans will fit just fine....seen it many times without any problems

The only difference is I'm running one of those upgraded CT26 turbos with the TD04E turbine but I don't think the compressor housing on a CT26 is any bigger than a CT20B compressor housing.

It's one of the braces holding up the middle of the fan on the right next to the battery and overflow bottle which rubs against the compressor housing. It doesn't always touch, but the radiator is free to move back and forth. My motor mounts haven't moved nor the radiator mounts so nothing is "wrong," It's just a tight engine bay.

is the gt4 radiator lighter than the USDM st204 and AT200 radiator???

[Rusty]

maybe...not one of those things I'd worry to much about

It might be. I think its different materials?

[BonzaiCelica]

I currently have stock fans on the 53mm godspeed aluminum radiator. The way to big radiator came with the car when I bought it as it really does not serve as a purpose to the stock engine. I'm looking for some slim fans here on the godspeed website. How much thinner are these fans vs the stock fans???

the construction of the rad is exactly the same as a gt/st radiator, the GT-4 is a little thicker, therefor a little heavier.

[bsamps4]

ATS sells spal fans for 65 a piece. You should look into that before jumping to ebay. I just removed my st202 radiator and the st205 radiator from my half cut to look for differences, and Presure is right....the gt4 one is heavier.

the godspeed radiator is a BEAST. and if you win a bid war (which usually isnt a war, i made my bid 5 days before the auction ended and nobody else bid) you can get it for under 200 usd shipped and all, including two 12 inch slim fans

[BonzaiCelica]

ya the fans separately cost $40 each for the 12 inch. I'm going to need em sometime as the stock ones are very close from touching the header and one is hitting the front motor mount.

no real point in a 53mm radiator if your staying N/A. Only used for turboed celica well over 400 hp

[BonzaiCelica]

oh I'm about to buy a 12 inch and 10 inch Megan Racing Slim fan? OR should I just buy both of them at 12 inches?? Which of the two stock fans is the metal one and the other one is plastic. my guess is that the metal fan is the one that sits in front of the exhaust manifold right?
