cooling water and oil

Hi every one,

Regarding the oil cooler and water cooling system , I just want to make sure i'm going about this the correct way. The engine I have is a ZZR1100.
I’ve read some of you have been using VW polo radiator as a goog choice and my question is, have the ZZR engine water pump enough power to push the amount of water existing in a car radiator? If yes, I’ll go for it.
In regards to the oil cooler, if I decide to buy a new one type of 17 or19 rows, which one do you recomand?

How do you manage the plugin system in order to keep using the same original inlet sump bolts?? Anyone of you have some tutorial how to do this job??

Thanks in advance from the sunny Mallorca

I'm running a Polo rad on my 919 Blade.
No problems, even on trackdays

The only thing that'd cause a problem to the pump is flow restriction, not total flow volume.
