On my way home from work I noticed white smoke coming from under my hood. I pulled over and saw my temp gauge was pegged! Heres what I found.

Anyone have any suggestions where I can get either a good oem replacement or aftermarket for better cooling for my 3sgte. I have a 95 celica gt swapped 3sgte. Thanks

LOL! Dam thats intense. my st radiator cracked too but it was more of a hairline that spilled water, nothing like that!

thats insane man...ive seen rads pop b4, but ive never seen one pretty much implode on its self. thats crazy.

^thats y i linked it to him. Just becareful, the koyo is a slightly thicker unit, so u might have issues with your DP.....

old radiator, poor cooling from the stock hood/bumper, and 90F+ weather would be my guess.

Yea. The rad. had 190,000 miles. It was hot and I was running the s**t out of it. The funny thing is I popped the hood just before I left work and all the fluids were fine. Oh well. Hopefully I didnt pop a head gasket when it overheated

OMG...

>There's a chance it is the other way around... watch out. If the head gasket blows to the water jacket, it can overpressurize the cooling system (and overwhelm the radiator cap) and blow the radiator like that. A buddy's rally car had that happen. He replaced the radiator and it kept overheating (blowing exhaust into the cooling system).

Be careful after putting in the new radiator, though I 100% endorse the Koyo radiator idea. My Subaru friends swear by them. I'm tempted to get one for my Camry already (I already have an ST205 radiator in there, but the top plastic is starting to look old).
