Imo just stay with a standard 3 core rad. I have one on my 1293 with 100 at the wheels and no problems with over heating

YEAA image! just bough that for mine !! we are cool!

[Ouster]

Get a two core one.

[ERAturbo]

If money is not in question....

RADTEC aluminum.

Really I cant give enough praise about this rad....Had huge problems before...tried 2 cores, 4 cores...additional heater matrix...etc etc

Fitted this then POW! problems solved (I do run an additional electric fan bun it only comes on on very hot days in traffic)

and i am running a little over 100 bhp

Yep, ally rad everytime.

two core for me. never had problems on any engine with one of those.

2 core, i've got one and it's the best thing i have ever bought for my car. doesn't get so hot in traffic and seems to warm up quicker as well if that makes any sence best to get one now if you need to buy a rad otherwise when you do uprate the engine more (everyone does because they are never finished) you'll only have to get one later

So whats the difference between the MiniSpares one and the mini sporty one other than one being half the price?

From MiniSport: Special - cores are oval shaped to give superior cooling instead of the conventional round cores

GRD110 is a standard type rad, and shouldn't be confused for the other 2 cores of ours or Minisports above

am sure that this radiator will do the job as it is only for a road engine
