Performance Radiator for Nissan 240SX (1995-1998) 2.4L

All-Aluminum Performance Radiator for 1995-1998 Nissan 240SX

What it Does: Upgrades the factory cooling system with a high-capacity, all-aluminum dual-core design to eliminate heat soak and maintain optimal coolant temperatures during high-stress driving.

The Stock S14 Cooling Weakness

The factory radiator on the 1995-1998 Nissan 240SX utilizes a thin single-row core and plastic end tanks. Over decades of heat cycling, these OEM plastic tanks become brittle and prone to micro-cracking at the crimped seams, causing sudden coolant loss. The KA24DE engine generates significant thermal load during track days or drifting events. The stock construction simply lacks the thermal mass and fluid capacity to dissipate this excess heat, resulting in rapid heat soak, elevated operating temperatures, and potential head gasket failure under sustained high-RPM use.

The Engineering Solution

This performance radiator replaces the failure-prone OEM unit with a TIG-welded, all-aluminum construction, completely eliminating plastic components from the cooling loop. Featuring a dense 2-row core measuring 25.13" x 14.13", the design significantly increases coolant capacity and surface area. Widened internal tubes and louvered aluminum fins optimize airflow dynamics, pulling heat away from the KA24DE efficiently. The 1.37-inch inlet and outlet are machined for leak-free fitment, while robust aluminum end tanks withstand high system pressures. This ensures your S14 maintains a stable thermal baseline.
