Awesome! Video saved for watch later. Going to sleep! But will re-watch after work tomorrow 👍 this reminds me I need to upgrade my cooling system on both engine and trans
Nice. I really enjoy these install videos. All this stuff that I normally wouldn't consider doing myself looks pretty easy when you show and explain. It annoys me that Subaru makes part of the radiator out of plastic. Seems like an inevitable failure at some point.
Thank you! I’m personally getting sick of install videos and just want to explore, but when stuff brakes it’s a perfect opportunity to upgrade! Unfortunately I think it’s standard practice for most OEM radiators to have plastic components as they are cheaper to build.
@@ignitionoffroad5028 Haha, for sure, you need to get out on the tracks. That's a LOT more fun to film. I hope you guys start getting some leeway soon.
A+ work on this video! Now I need one of these radiators in my life...
Great work! nice improvement in video quality! cheers from spain
Still my favorite forester on yt!
Clean work as usual!! 🔧🔧🔧
awesome video. Thank you for posting :)
Yeah!!...nice job!!
Cool mod! That radiator looks like twice the capacity.
I also need to invest in a burp funnel. The kind that lock to the radiator cap. I made a huge mess when swapping radiators for the Baja.
The plastic end does indeed crack with age/miles. The VDC Donor was cracked and leaking at around 17 years old.
I don’t know why I haven’t invested in a funnel yet. It’s a cheap tool that does a great job. One day I will get one and stop making a mess...
Hey,
Great Work, did the same thing on mine ;)
You need to look for leaks, because in my Case these Stock Clamps are shity...
Greetings from Germany
Great advice! I have found some leaks around the top hose clamps. Replaced them with better clamps and it’s all good now!
I like It !
Wow, the cooling capacity of the aluminium radiator must be huge. I was surprised with the extra thickness that it fitted with the cooling fans in place - effortlessly it appears.
Can anyone comment on the 4AT in turbo SH's?
Yes was a great fit! Quite tight between the radiator fans and drive belts now, but enough clearance that everything runs smooth.
Your hat looks like it's from 2018.
🤣
Keep an eye out for Bruce's new fashion channel debuting soon.

Hi there mate,
Thank you for the great vid, love your car. Hey with your experience do you think this rad would fit the non turbo model?? Keep those vids coming and stay kool friend.
The radiator will definitely fit both turbo and no turbo. There’s just one or two additional lines you may have to plug in your case, but should be easy to do.
what are the 2 nipple things on the bottom of the new RAD?
Did you have to cut down the small bolt on top radiator housing near radiator cap?
Yes I did, I think I discovered that after publishing this video.
Great video. What tires and size are you running?
Thank you! 215/75r15
Have you had the opportunity to test it out in hot conditions on slow trails, with minimal airflow?
Not yet, still have a few things to sort out before I hit the tracks and very little time on my hands atm.
Any problems yet with the new radiator? And would you recommend it? As I’m looking to upgrade to mishimoto radiator?
I’m not entirely convinced with it to be honest. Works great at speed but when I’m crawling around there doesn’t seem to be enough airflow to cool it properly. I’m going to look at upgrading the fans and see how that goes.
@@ignitionoffroad5028 ok damn🤦♂️lol was thinking of upgrading to this? Hopefully the fans will help? But heard koyorad radiator is good? Not sure. But yes, hopefully that will be the next video? Thanks for the video.
@@milzdox7757 yeah I’ve heard good things about the koyorad as well
What year
My forester is a 2004 model
