if you put a bigger radiator in, you just need to add more water. i cant say about which radiator to get but why dont you get twin fans the radiator you have?

The standard vts radiator has space for two fans however only one is used as standard. Another fan can be put in and wired in to work relatively easily. Good modification in my opinion and looks very good also.

big radiators are heavier.. and more water adds weight too. Not something that i'd be doing.

Why do you need the bigger radiator?

ps 2 fans inhibit the flow of air through the radiator. They only aid cooling when you are sat in traffic. Only needs 2 if the ambient air is hot
