Title: Uprated Radiator?
Post by: suba on February 19, 2009, 11:15:56 AM
I\'m looking for an uprated radiator for my FD3 as I\'ll be taking the car  on track.

The car is running 0.7 bar and 320 bhp or so on the twins.

Can anyone advise me on which one to go for - I\'d like one that would also be suitable for a single setup in future....

:)

either Pace or Koyo rads will do. You might find some deals on a used Trust rad

looks like a Koyo copy, you cant go wrong at that price, if you find its not up to the job you can always sell it on
