The time has come to source a radiator for my build,its running 1.8 MX5 engine,and I believe the best choices are Micra or Polo? but from what years?

lots of people in my local club have had good results with these when their polo rads havent been up to the job on highly tuned motors. they are a bargain for how well they work.

That's what I've got on my 2.0 turbo Vauxhall engine. Worked ok on the rolling road.

I use this on a turbo zx9 autograss car making 180bhp, not very high speeds but lots of engine revs and load. Works great

I couldn't get my polo rad to cool the engine, it kept over heating
