89' Supra Automatic Radiator - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Hi, I have a 1989 Supra 3L Turbo. The radiator is clogged due to the previous owner putting Stop Leak in it for a blown head gasket. New JDM engine later, I have a clogged radiator. I need to find a new radiator that has the auto transmission plugs. Anyone have any recommendations as to which radiator runs well in these cars? I would like something better than a stock replacement. I am having a little trouble with the interwebz when searching for one. Any info is appreciated.
Thanks!

Most aftermarket performance or racing rads delete the trans cooler. You could use that with an external cooler for the trans (aftermarket again, or perhaps adapt a used supra oil cooler for the job).

Koyo makes an OEM style one though that does appears to have the trans cooler, though I believe it is all metal tanks. It will be pretty much exactly like stock for cooling, and I don;t think it is any larger.

We ended up going with a Godspeed radiator that came with 2 slimfans. Good deal. Picked up a separate oil cooler for the tranny. Thanks for the info!
