Is this radiator overkill?

This radiator is slightly thinner (1.5 inches) than the one I bought which is 2.5 inches thick, same height and length. Completely aluminum. It needs to support a non turbo 13b, did I go overboard when I got the thicker model? And yes it will fit in the nosecone, if I angle it, alot.

With the rotary I would think overheating is the last thing you need. Are you using the standard oil cooler that comes supplied with the egg beater. Zoom Zoom.

It's easier to blank off a large rad than it is to extend one that is too small!

As long as you have a thermostat fitted, it should not make any difference, except your fan will not cut in so often.

You used to be able to get little venetian blinds to go on the outside of the radiator which were adjustable from the inside - might be worth looking into





If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation
