Na drops right in. The upper radiator hose will hold it in place. But you will definately want to make brackets to secure it to the core support.

Damn.....sorry to hear about the struggles.

The main difference between the turbo & non-turbo radiators are that it's shorter in height and is thinner.

I don't have one anymore, it got stuck on the ground while I was wheeling and it peeled it off the car like the top of a can. I need to make another one and get the car lifted so I don't always get high centered. The only reason I had to call my mom is cause no one else could help me at almost midnight.

Also, I closed a deal on a '94 fwd wagon with no motor, ecu, or harness. I get the whole car, no title, for $200. Its green with a tan interior and I'm gonna pretty much strip it bare.

Parts car: pulled the hatch trim, front window trim, bottom of the rear seat, sorted the parts in it, and moved it.
Sedan: put the parts car rear seat bottom in.
Turbo wagon: put the intake all together and started it up.

Made a home made intake heat shield with rivets and the works. Pretty clean. And cheap!

I started tearing down a core motor I've had sitting around. I knew it "blew up", but that's all the info the PO told me. It was free, so whatever. The poor thing was pretty nasty, its life ended badly, and quick. I have some good carnage pictures of it. This is my favorite photo so far.

I have no idea. It was a terrible mess when I took the pan and heads off.
It was like playing "Name That Part!" Ooh, there's a valve, oh hey there's a wrist pin clip! :lol:
Here's more pictures.

Pulled the front suspension and hubs off the parts car, doing the same to the sedan tomorrow and putting the parts car ones in. No more frozen front suspension finally.

Desnorked, reblacked the bumper trim, and finally fixed my boost leak. Oh and the PO did a shit job of replacing the vent line nipple on the resonator box for the for the boost control solenoid, it was plugged completely with glue. Now that it's unplugged the car pulls so much better!
