Radiator question
My Stylus came with a standard black plastic topped thin and small ali rad (not sure what it's from, probabaly a Micra or Polo).
Just spoke to Radtec. They do a Caterham radiator for £235 which does up to 250bhp. The next one up is £400 to 400bhp. My car will be around
280-300bhp …. Would you risk the £235 one and put some water weter in, or pay the extra £165 ……

I guess you dont want to find out the hard way that your radiator is not up to the job!! Is there not an off-the-shelf item that will do the job for
you without going to the expense of the Radtec item??

If there is then please do let me know, but I have no more available width than in a Seven.
I'll try Boston rads...

Hi
There is not an off the shelf item that will do the same job as a RADTEC item for the same size. Trust me i have tried the lot and made a much bigger
nose in the end to achive usuing an off the shelf item.
To be honest i would take Darrens advice from RADTEC ( assuming it is darren you are talking too). He has sorted out the rads for when we where
running 300 hp red tops and 400 HP Hondas in the westfields.
Cheers Matt
