Hi All, can you give some suggestions on decent aftermarket radiator brands that won't break the bank or blow up after a year and that actually fits? lol
Thanks

Thank you @-Spike- I’ll add your comments to my notes. Good gougeTYC 1918 if you need the coolest possible, happens to be one of the cheapest alternatives as well, you can find them at Rock Auto or Amazon. Koyo if you want an OEM almost-equivalent without paying an OEM price. OEM (Toyorad, not Koyo, Denso, etc) if you want Toyota reliability. I have no experience with the Ron Davis, looks good but very pricey.
I completely disagree with @Road Apple about getting a 93-94 OEM, because I live in a place that's hot. They are brass core. Toyota switched to aluminum core for '95+, which cools better. The TYC rad mentioned in many posts is an aluminum core, with a thicker core and different fin design, which adds up to better cooling than any other radiator I've seen, see above disclaimer about Ron Davis. Most of the rads available, including OEM, have plastic tanks. Don't be an ape with the nipple and they work great, IME they offer better performance than any all-brass unit.
There are many posts on this subject, do a search for TYC, radiator, Koyo, etc.
thaNKSSummit racing - all brass, a great price and it's not from China
