Just looking at engine pictures from friends cars, one is 200bhp n/a and the other is 205bhp Supercharged. The supercharged car has a radiator thats alot smaller, but the engine is only 1300cc, the car on carbs is 2000cc and has a larger radiator, but neither have problems with cooling.

The smaller radiator is thicker, but not by much. How can the charged car get away with running a smaller rad when surely it would run hotter than the N/A car? Or does it have something to do with engine cc?


N/A Zetec with 200bhp @fly



Supercharged 1.3 swift with 205bhp @fly
