I'm thinking about ordering one, but don't see them listed for ca18det. The ones listed on ebay, both KA and SR show the same pics....with the inlet/ outlet both on the passenger side. I thought one of the engines had the inlet or outlet on driver side?? Anyway, which one do I need for the CA?
KA has both inlet/outlet on the passenger side while the SR has one on driver and the other on passenger. I'm pretty sure the CA18DET has inlet/outlet on the passenger side, so the KA one would work just fine.

the sr ones should have the top inlet on the drivers side, all the other sr20 style radiators i seen are this way, is the ebay pic of the actual item, or probaly not if its the same one i see, you'll have to modify the mounts anyway so your best bet is to e-mail them with your specs and see what they say, or take a chance on the sr style one, that would be similar to what you need right with the bottom outlet on the passenger side and the top inlet on the driver side. i measured the max. possible fitment between the frame rails and it was near 29 inches, and the ka and vg inlets and outlets are both 1 1/4 inches, so anything like that with the rest of your needs would work.
edit oh doh, i type to slow and you all ready figured it out oh-well

i have a mishimoto in my s12...all i had to do is drill into the front subframe, and then put some random bushings in to fiut the holes that i found at work and thennn, get two left side s13 radiator upper mounts, drill small holes in your core support, hammer the s13 mounts a bit to sit straighter, and then bolt those on in correct alignment with the radiator, and it works out swimingly...reference my build thread for pics http://www.club-s12.org/forums/index.php?s...70&hl=build its about the 7th pic down...hope that helps so you can see what i mean
^^That's what I did!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
You can also use an R32 RB-series radiator, too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
These also come up failry cheap on eBay.

original artwork by me, don t steel it.
yes yes, I've thought about a Griffin aluminum universal from Summit
Well, I guess the only question really is, does the Brewster radiator come with stickers??

nice.
I saw Henry's Mishi in person, and the fit was splendid.
