The Toyota Supra was designed to be a compact sports car that offers an exciting driving experience while still maintaining Toyota’s high standards of reliability and efficiency. Part of maintaining an engine’s power and efficiency comes from maintaining the proper temperature, and the cooling system fulfills that purpose. The Toyota Supra’s radiator is at the heart of the cooling system.

Modern radiators are made of a hard plastic framework which surrounds an aluminum core. The core is primarily comprised of aluminum tubes and radiating fins. The coolant, which absorbs heat from the engine, flows through the metal tubing in the radiator, where the heat is conducted into the aluminum skin of the tubes.

The heat flows into the thousands of paper thin radiating fins, where airflow disperses it into the atmosphere. The airflow over and through the radiator comes primarily from the forward momentum of the car, and from the auxiliary fan when it is stopped. Lack of airflow means that the Toyota Supra’s radiator cannot shed heat, rendering it useless, so you should maintain the maximum airflow through the grille. Keep the grille free of leaves and other debris, which can become trapped in the radiator. The function of the radiator dictates its form, and the aluminum is fragile. Inspect your Toyota Supra radiator regularly for damage in the form of bent fins or leaks. While a few bents fins are unlikely to interfere with the radiator’s functioning, large areas of bent or missing radiator fins mean that you should probably replace it.
