Detailed Radiator Specifications and Features
This radiator features a cross flow core design that enhances cooling efficiency by directing coolant horizontally through the aluminum core. The core measures 14.25 inches in height, 26.75 inches in width, and 0.63 inches in thickness, providing a balance between cooling capacity and fitment. The 64 fins per 4 inches improve heat transfer by maximizing surface area exposed to airflow.
The plastic tanks reduce weight and resist corrosion, extending the radiator's service life. The inlet is positioned at the top right, and the outlet is located at the bottom left, matching the Subaru Legacy's cooling system layout. The radiator also includes an internal transmission oil cooler, which is integrated with fittings spaced 7.87 inches apart, supporting transmission fluid temperature regulation.
