As the title suggests i'm wondering if the radiator out of a 2000 subaru liberty 2.5 will fit into my 2000 GC8 Subaru Impreza RX. reason why is I am looking at installing the better snorkel off the liberty onto my rx but the radiator cap is in the way on the impreza radiator, where the liberty one is on the other side.

^My Impreza

Its quite likely it'll fit. An early Impreza (94-97) radiator was the same as an early Liberty (89-94) radiator

how about a SF forester radiator?
i would imagine they would be basically the same as the impreza, seeming the forester is based on the impreza. plus they have the same snorkel set up as the liberty

Looking online the foresters look the same as the impreza. the radiator is the same which doesn't help me because that blocks the libtery snorkel which i'm trying to attach

nah looking at the first pic. but just had a closer look at my impreza and although the radiator could possibly fit, the piping can't make it to where the different holes are in the liberty radiator becuase the liberty has more space between the timing belts to the radiator so the pipes can go inbetween then, where as the impreza there is no space. shame cuz that snorkel on the liberty is heaps better than the shitty one on the impreza

90mm pipe straight into your inner guard, worked fine for me and no ugly snorkus.
