Radiator for track?

[vtrlogan]

As per title, been round silverstone today, car didn't get hot atal, sat just over half way on oil/water but my rad is pretty battered and bent

What are the best rads put there? Mabey slightly bigger?



Also how do I get in the track section?

[bigezz]

if its performing well with a pretty poor standard rad why dont you just replace it with a decent standard one would be pretty pointless upgrading sumthing thats already doing its job

[vtrlogan]

As I only don't 20mins, and plan on doing half days in oct. also looking at more power soon

[bigezz]

what is the spec off your car 1.4 vtr vts what rad do you have? standard colling fans? what stat you got in????

[vtrlogan]

Have a vts, Newman ph3,ported head, race land with big green filter, oversized c2 throttle body,

Looking at going itb, with over sized vavles

i only had a standard rad just got an ally nissens one on my old gti

[Mochachino]

Standard will be fine.

[rorz_vts]

Yea nissens are alloy and really do the trick, if you want a fully alloy rad then baker bm do one but it's not cheap

[blackie_2k5]

The ones fitted to the later vtr's (standard ones) possibly even later vts are really good rads

I run one on my turbo and it doesn't overheat at all with no oil cooler

[vtrlogan]

Sweet cheers guys ordered me a nissen orm one. :)

They are actually a downgrade if your talking cooling when compered to a good copper code one. Though they are a bit lighter in weight.

what sort of power is your car at the moment mate?

[vtrlogan]

Unsure what power, needs a re map, and put on rollin road. Done well at silverstone today.. Was quicker than a lot off cars on te straight

[Wee_monkey1987]

go with the Nissens mate good quality rads, got one on my VTS never seen the needle reach above halfway unless stuck idling behind some pensioners on the road

[AndySAXO]

A nissen rad will be fine.
