KA24(e-de) radiator = direct drop in

whooops, i thought it read SR20. not alot of S2K questions flying around on NICO lol. umm im not sure. The inlet/outlet look to be on the correct side, and it looks very similar. Get it, try it out, and let us know!

Go find a tape measure, and measure your radiator support. Then compare it to the radiator dimensions. Thats pretty much how your going to find out. Or check koyo's website and compare the ka24E radiator dimensions to the s2k radiators dimensions. I highly doubt anyone here has put a s2k radiator in their car so you'll have to guinea pig it.

looks very similar, try setting it in your engine bay and see if the bottom posts fit into the correct spot. The top would be easy to make brackets for.

Take pics of it in the bay if it works yay!
