Hi everyone, this is my first post on here but am after some advice. I have an mpi stage 4 running 91bhp (soon to hopefully be around 100 with new throttle body) so cooling is an issue. Does anyone think that it would be possible to run two mpi radiators in series, one mounted up front like normal and one on the right inner wing where all other rads go? Or any other cooling ideas? I have a ceramic painted manifold already which works fairly well at reducing heat.

Cheers

Dan

this will be the obvious answer.


How the hell are you able to fit a full rad on the right hand side of the wing... what do you not have in your car.

I am stuggling to find a place to fit a 10 row oil cooler on my mpi, let alone a full radiator.

There is a dual core rad that is around £160 ish that some people say that will improve cooling, but I have yet to see the results to warrent spending £160

hythe performance do an uprated mpi radiator, its roughly twice the thickness but fits using the original mounts. They cost £230 though. I had one, on a mildly tuned mpi (basically stage 3/works kit). NEVER needed to use the electric fan for general driving, only used it on the london to brighton run (waiting in traffic for ages) and on the North Devon Grand Tour. I had the fan wired to a seperate switch as had problems with it never cutting in when using the standard radiator.
