I found a couple pics of a guy with a Koyo rad in his AE86, i noticed it looks very very similar to ours, anyone know if they are compatible?

i dont see why not... mounts look similar to our wagons.

go to a junkyard and measure the rad mounts, then compare them to the tercel.

they fit you just have to lower a bit the clamps because they are a bit shorter like half an inch

Notice the custom radiator and the altered strut tops to allow camber adjustment. This looks like someone's race car, not likely this was ever a production set up. It appears this engine came out of an injected corolla or something, and adopted to fit in this car. This is not a Tercel, notice the area in front of the windsheild where the wipers are, there is no grill.

Where is this pic from?

Looks like a pretty standard AE-86 to me... Just with camber-plates up top?

From pictures taken of Koyo radiators, the outlets are on the correct sides so besides mounting, should be fairly easy.

As for the ae86, it has a 4agze due to the sticker, cam covers that say SC, and the special intake manifold. It appears to be running a front mount intercooler which is the reason for the insulated charge pipe crossing over the cam covers.

The AE86 Radiator is no where close to a factory fit. It's taller and wider significantly.

I'm looking to see if I can drop the bottom mounts by an 1 1/8" and the drivers side over a few inches. The top EZ mounts are going to require a spacer and a nutsert a few inches closer to the drivers side. ( I know, I should of taken pics when I tried it)

Performance Radiator makes an upgrade 4 pass radiator for $165. It's twice as thick as the stock one and is all metal(no plastic caps). I think that's the easiest upgrade. The factory electric fan still fits too.

Here's a pic of what an OEM AE86 radiator looks like. You can see how much wider and taller it is. Also gives you an idea on EZ mount spacing.

I am pretty sure someone made one of those fit in the Tercel. They would have to move the air cond. condenser if it is so equipped.
