Why isn’t there a driver side radiator vent?

[Soliduz]

Left side you can see the radiator, right side is closed off anyone know why?

Because it's a 2.0 and there is no radiator there

 

[razorlab]

Intake not vent, and yes, @kyle9 is correct.

 

[lucky phil]

Or maybe because the 2023 and subsequent don't have a left hand Aux radiator. At least the B58 Manuals anyway.

Huh? Yes they do.

Well my 2023 B58 manual has no l/h Aux radiator. My assumption is that without the primary and secondary radiators in the front not having the burden of the auto transmission cooler in front of them reducing their effectiveness they don't need the extra aux radiator.

oh thats crazy. so is there a reduction in weight 2023 onward for the b58 version? Thought this only affected the 2.0

wait us 2023 folks are missing a trans cooler AND aux coolers?

All 3.0L Autos have trans cooler in front and both Aux coolers on the sides. North American Manual Transmission 3.0L's also have both aux coolers. Not sure what other countries have.

No, the North American 3.0L B58 manuals have both aux coolers.

Must be an aussie thing because we have them on MT models here in North America:

Just found some photos of the 3.0L Manual in Australia. It does indeed have it's left side blocked. Sucks for you guys!

Either an Aussie thing or a build date thing. Not sure. The inlet is blanked off as is the exit louvers on the LHS and via a torch and mirror there's a big vacant space in there. I wonder if the Euro spec manuals have the l/h aux radiator. If not thats what we may get.

All the North American Supras have both aux radiators.

Well I'd rather have the extra radiator for the cooling head room because it can get pretty warm here but I guess the Manual doesn't have the influence of the trans cooler on the engine cooling system as I mentioned before and also the reduction in weight and complexity with the omission of 2 heat exchanges and plumbing is the up side.

Is your car a 2.0L or B58 manual?

He has a 2.0L.

Again, all North American 3.0L B58 Supras have both aux radiators. Base, Premium, Launch Edition, A91, A91-CF, A91-MT, MT, 45th Anniversary MT, 45th Anniversary Auto, etc
