Quick question, im dioing a kouki conversion on my s14, and i need a radiator support anyway ( as mine is messed up) , i can get a good deal on a s15 one here locally. Will it work the same as the kouki one?

thanks

i'm a newb so I could be wrong, but I'm goin to say that even if it could work, it would probably be more cost effective to juss use the s14 one. personal I dont think it would work, not effeciently anyways, someone please correct me if i am wrong

to better answer i did a bit of searchin and it says on import tuner(yea i know) that you can use the s15 rad support for the kouki conversion

IIRC, the only reason people source S15 rad support when they do the convert is for the holes behind the headlights. S14 kouki have the same holes. I guess it will be a matter of making sure its all lined up when you tack weld it back on...

i did not know s14 kouki has same holes as s15 rad support. i thought most people just buy the brackets and reweld those on to the existing rad support for the people who go zenki to kouki. so if that were tjhe case then most ppl would just weld on the kouki brackets (not the whole rad support)

the reason i would be getting it is because mine is messed up and i can get this one cheap locally.

Anyway thanks for the info. I think im gonna get it

S14 Kouki and S15 Rad support are the same. Zenki is different.

if yours is messed up anyways.

and replacing it with an s15 rad support is cheaper. do it.

gotta chop the inside of the fender on the hood area a bit but nothing crazy
