Radiator help / advice

[TaisenR]

Hi. I have a 2003 mazda protege mazdaspeed with turbo. The head just had to get fixed because I bought it with a blown head gasket and didn't know until after the fact. Well they had put sealant in the car to try and cover this issue up and it got into the radiator. The problem I am having now is finding one for it with the inter cooler mounts I think it is. I am a bit confused because mazda says they have one that will fit the car but it does not have this. I don't even know where the inter cooler is supposed to be originally. Does anyone know? I have pictures of the radiator that is in it now, well out of it but mazda also told me that they don't know what car it came it from but that it is not from my car? We have been looking for a radiator for over 2 weeks now with no luck. Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.

The Mazda dealer you are talking to is retarded. That is the stock radiator. I think the stock part # is RF3F-15-200B MSP.

Yeah, they're ******* retarded...

Since you've done away with your SMIC, go with a Mishimoto. It's a full-sized radiator. They run $255. Almost $100 cheaper than the OEM MSP radiator.

Or go with the corksport which is $199 right now which is also a full size rad.
