Who makes one? I want to use the stock fan/shroud instead of using e fans. I need one for a a/t S14 if it matters. I was looking at the mishimotos but was told by a person that sells them the stock shroud will not work with them.. without work anyway but I want to avoid this.

you can get one at autozone or someplace like that, just tell them you need a replacement rad. i did this about 3 years ago when mine blew up on a road trip. it was solid metal, no junkie plastic

Thanks for the reply, I went on their sites and it showed radiators with plastic upper and lower tanks so I'll try going in store and see what they have.

Sounds about right, the plastic/metal ones are $178. Thanks.

try http://www.radiatorbarn.com alot of the ones they sell are all metal and pretty good price, i found out about them from my mechanic when i had the radiator replaced in my beater accord. i know the ones they sell for the s13 are all metal and by far the lowest price ive seen for all metal, and im sure they sell all metal for the s14.

^ Awesome. Did you have to modify anything to get the shroud on?

i havent bought one from them for a s13 but the one my mechanic ordered for my accord was oem fitment meaning that the shroud fit without any mods. best bet would be to call them and ask because you will be hard pressed to find an all metal radi for less.
