NA Mishimoto rad in NB with RB 1.25OD 3/16" sway?
 
Hi all,
We got an NB that has an old OE radiator and need to be replaced. Anyone knows the differences between NA and NB Mishimoto radiators? I see that part numbers are different and cap location is centered on NB vs to the passenger side on NA, but not sure if the differences are actually critical and make them unique enough not be able to swap one for the other. I can see that Mishi is much thicker than OEM and measures 2.5" by itself (it's installed in an NA car right now, so i can't see the label if it is a 2 row or 3 row) . With OE fan shroud it will probably not only interfere with the RB sway, but possibly with other components.

Anyone knows for sure?

Unless you can weld aluminum and ready to do lots of fab, then it does not fit. You can buy ebay aluminum radiators for about $110.

Ok, i was expecting that, but needed some confirmation as I've never seen them side by side. Thanks!

NA and NB rad mounts are completely different. Not even close.
