Which radiator - 4age
Hi folks ,
Ive got a bike radiator which I am thinking of using on my 4age engine
This is due to the space available.Will this provide enough cooling for the engine or do I need a bigger one?
Thanks

Cant see a bike rad managing, bikes rely on alot of air cooling as well as water.
Standard is to use one of these:
VOLKSWAGEN POLO 1983-1990 / DERBY / SEAT TERRA RADIATOR NEW - 2 YEAR WARRANTY | eBay
They are quite narrow and go in well in the nose of a '7'.
As all the pipes are on the left so means neat plumbing on the same side of the car the engine outlets are on, just needs a long pipe along the side
of the engine bay.

Loggyboy is that your old car?
What air filter\ plenum set up are you using?
Supercharger?
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!
Please read my ring story:

Hi mate, I run a zzr1100 in the back of my trike, gets very little air flow if any. due to packaging probs like you, my rad is about 3/4 the size the
bikes got. i also run the standard and original oil cooler. Iv fitted each with a fan, wired together into the rad fan switch. when coolant comes up
to 91 degrees, both fans come on. due to smaller rad fans are on more frequent and for a split second longer. works a treat though. so yeah go for
it, itll be fine, especially if you can an oil cooler which are tiny so should find a slot for it somwhere
