Default Alloy radiator choice

Hey all,

i've been searching on ebay for a full alloy radiator for my 1.6L Accent 2003 LC2. Now all i can find is one.... but its for a tiburon/elantra...

Are the radiators the samebetween these 2 and the accent? if not can this radiator be easily suited to fit my accent?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...sid=p2759.l1259

the reason is that seoulful racing want nearly $600AUD for the accent radiator shipped and this guy is only $230AUD shipped to my front door! If there a little different would one be able to easily modify this radiator to suit my application?

Cheers Ryan

i want to say that the accent's have the small half radiators whereas the tib/lantra have bigger ones, that's just a guess though.

in the us they are full length radiators. i would suggest you go to the junkyard and take some measurements of a stock elantra or tibby radiator and then you'll me able to tell. and make notes of the mounting holes. because usually most people that switch in the us go to a half size to be able to fit a turbo better

I put an evo8 radiator in my tiburon. Not sure if it fits but you can measure from other cars at the yard and then orders racing one for that car, then custom fit it to the accent. I'm sure a civic or Eclipse radiator would work somehow.

personally i don't think it makes a real difference. i'd think the one core would cool faster but when i swapped it there was no real change.

here's mine:
