My rad is leaking and I dont wanna buy anything medicore for my car as im gonna be turning it into a track slut a few years down the road. Is the rad car specific or engine specific, aka when I swap to SR next year will I have to buy a new rad if I bought a Koyo rad for the current KA?

Thanks.

Edit: If I could use an SR rad on the KA that would be great if anyone knows if this works?

The top hose is on opposite sides of the rad on KA vs SR.

A KA rad has the top hose on the passanger side, while the SR rad has it on the driver’s side, so all you would need to cange is the hose when you swap.
