I ordered a Scirocco style radiator for my Subaru 2.5 NA conversion. It measures approximately 20" X 11" X 1.5" and is a double pass. The stock radiator measures 13.38 X 27 X 5/8". The scirocco radiator has more surface area if I consider that it is a double pass and twice as thick ie 440 square inches versus 361 square inches. Am I safe to assume that the scirocco (though smaller and thicker) will have the same or better cooling power as stock?

I think It will work fine as long as it is properly ducted and sealed.
I'm running a Celica GTS rad on my conversion. It fits the trunk space better and is about the same height. Check out the last few pages of my build thread for pics. |

I am hoping the thickness of this radiator makes up for the surface area and that the effective cooling area is actually greater. |
