i need to find a part number so i can order this to install on the ae86. i need the part number for the ae86 SR5 auto (carb) rad ! the sr5 rad has a double core, and im pretty sure its just a bolt on, with better cooling ! oh yea ! so, since i cant ever find these in the junk yard. so if someone can help me out and give me a part number so i can call toyota and see what $$ it is, it would be greatly appreciated !!!

why would you need a part number? TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS have the part numbers. Your role is to call them and ask the price...yes, as infinitely amazing as that sounds, its' just that simple.

By the way...is your car suffering from overheating problems? AE86's have great cooling systems already in place from the factory

If you want a sr5 automatic rad I know a auto wreckers that has two sr5 with automatics, one even has air conditioning and power steering, if interested I can get it for you, let me know.

migs: no my car not sufferin from overheat, its just nice to kno that with a double core rad i have a greater "buffer" for my mistakes that might overheat the engine. ! plus, it cant be all that pricy. i called a toyota dealership, and they needed a part number. so, yea.

crussinn: where are you located? im gonna head to the junk yard on the weekend. and try again.

greater buffer? A double core rad won't save you if you do something so incredibly insane that you manage to overheat a 4AGE. Spend the time to maintain your coolant system, and I guarantee you, you'll never have ANY troubles with overheating.

The dealership probably won't help you out because it's easier to give "tuners" the runaround than try to track down a part that they think will help their car in some way. Plus, it's VERY rare for anyone to buy a new OEM radiator because they're $$$$$$$$$$$. 90% of people out there will buy rebuilt/remanufactured/aftermarket rads because of the lower price...in fact, many parts counters suggest doing just that.

It always amazes me how people go out of their way to somehow improve on Toyota's engineering designs, instead of simply taking care of basic maintenance. Please don't take offence, i'm just talking from experience, and over a year experience with Toyota dealerships
