scottieboi94 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I bought a full size japspeed alluminium radiator a few months ago, but have now decided it is too big for my engine bay and is restricting too much space when i need to work on my turbo and is restricting the intercooler pipe from sitting lower. So i have decided to get a half rad. I have been looking around online and noticed the two common types are twin core and triple core. Obviously the triple core will be better but would i see a noticeable difference between the the two rads with my setup? Spec:ct9 hybrid running between 170bhp-200bhpstandard engineblitz decat My current radiator keep the car more than cool, it never goes above half way on the temp gauge so i cant see a half rad gibing my car any overheating issues so i think the best option will be to go with a half rad.
