Default Bigger rads...

right im fed up of my rst's overheating ive had it with them doing it! now i plan to find the problem with my car and fix the bugga, but what options do i ahve for keeping it cooler?

what options are there for bigger rads on erst's? i know there are pace full length etc but thats no good because i run a chargecooler where the original i/c would fit.

so can you get rads the same size that are proven to be more efficient? maybe thicker cores etc

would just like to do a bit of preventitive work instead of fixing the buggas for once.

My Aluminium radiators are 42mm thick, using a single row core, however I’ve now found a company that will supply me a twin row core that is still 42mm thick.

I personally would recommend using too thicker core.
