I'm planning on dropping an SR in my 180 soon. However, I'm able to get a good deal on Greddy radiators. Problem is, the deal is only good for a couple of days.

Now my question is, is it possible for me to use the radiator with my KA? Or might as well wait for the swap so that i dont have to re-route my hose accross. I just dont want things just sitting in the garage, i want it installed. So if somebody has some answers for me that would be great.

yes, 90 degree bend hoses and a pipe should do the job to make it fit your application.

Thanks. How does that work since the intake pipe is in the way?

you ditch the shroud. use the bend off the radiator, then the pipe, and then try using a coolant flex hose. Either that or a pair of 90 degree bend hoses with a short pipe, but it's easier to use a flex hose.
