with the sr swap, stock ka radiator is only 1 core. for low budget, go to any junkyard just look for 85-88 toyata cressida radiator, it a 2 core rad. And it fit perfect with little mod. that what i use on my s13 sr swap. hope these help save $$$

hey whats up. i tried out this new low budget radiator. well ill be posting pictures up soon. looks like everything will fit with small mods like custom brackets. it's not actually all the way in yet since i have other things to do with my motor but it will be done soon. i also bought a blitz radiator cap didnt work too well but had to trim it down a bit so it would fit. keep look ill be posting pictures soon. if you guys got question just email me or reply.
