As titles suggests, does anyone know if the aircon radiator from a WRX MY94 car is the same as one you'd get in a classic shaped MY00 car.

Need to do a swap and thought that maybe the parts were the same??

Cheers, Steve.

 

No the end pipe fitments are slighty different.

 

Is there no way i can use the original pipes from the WRX MY94 aircon rad to bolt onto the MY00 engine??

 

It was a few years ago when I attempted the same thing.
I had to keep one of the orignal 99 pipes on as the early one had a different end (were it fits the rad). Then the same pipe had a different end fitment on the gas canister type thing. So no matter which way I tried it it was not going to be a straight tight fit. My concern was with the gas leaking so no point fitting.
The only solution I thought was to either get the complete later set up or the same year rad.
Unless you know where to get the ends machine or modded to fit.

Remove you pipes & see for yourself against the rad your think of getting.

So maybe if i used more parts from the donor MY94 WRX such as the canister, and used this on the MY00 car i could get it to fit?? Or are there more fitment issues.

 

Pm me your location in the Midlands as I still have the later rad which I never used. That way you can check it against your pipes.
Unless of course you already have the earlier rad.
