So, I ordered an all aluminum radiator for my car since my stock one cracked. I saw on the forum that everyone got those 2 row aluminum radiators and when I went to check them out, no one has them in stock from the websites where some members got them. So I decided to go on ebay and found a couple. Some sellers had the radiators listed for 1.6L and 2.0L, and said ok, well lets try that and tell the seller I have a 2.0L. Well, I just got mine, and guess what, the oulets on the radiator are for the 1.6L. I need my car running, but wanted to ask anyone here if they ran into the same problem. I'm not too worried about fitment and fans as I saw I could do something about it. Its just the outlets are smaller in diameter. Is there anyway I could convert the outlets on the radiator, or would HAVE to return it. Cause if there was a way to convert the outlets to make them a little bigger, wouldn't the flow of the coolant be a lot less since the outlets are smaller. Please someone chime in for me. Thank you.....

We got them when they did a limited time run on them, it looks like they decided to cut the cord on producing them though. Post link to the one you got?

Theres the link. The guy didn't post it's outlet sizes. I found another one that has the outlet sizes I need, but the seller I got my radiator from hasn't responded yet. It's clearly listed for 1.6 and 2.0..while the other ones that I just found say for it's only for the sr20. A little different in price, but I'm going to have to do that unless I find a way to deal with this guy.

Well, good news, the seller was kind enough to send me a return label and will issue me a refund ASAP the radiator gets shipped out. Thought I would have to pay for shipping and restocking fee, etc. Does anyone have an all aluminum that fits, lol?

Also that radiator wouldn't fit into the P11 without some modifications. B15 radiator is the best bet, just hard to find
Yea. Can't find them any where that are all aluminum. Couldn't the 2.0 sentra ones fit with a little modification? I've seen it done here. Some bending or something where the radiator fits. Rather just go with that instead of the hassle of finding a b15 one and have having to modify the radiator I got. And since I'm getting a refund I'm going try getting the one with the correct outlet and inlet sizes.

Id go for a modded mishimoto b14 setup. I got lucky and found someone selling the Silla b15 one bnib on here. Paid more then what it would have cost getting it from the online retailer but couldnt pass up the chance.

Where can one source a B15 all aluminum radiator, will those work with an automatic transmission?

I tried a few months back with no luck. Got lucky and found one BNIB on here. Your best bet is to call the manufacturer (Silla) directly and see if they even plan to make anymore of if its a discountinued product. All vendors I tried were out of stock with no ETA.
