![Question](https://passionford.com/forum/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Alright everyone, I have an s2 with efi conversion, hybrid t3 turbo and its only running at standard boost standard injectors. It has a FRST rad and it just keeps over heating. I thought it just because its hot weather (Australia) but even when it's cool out its doing it. I took out that valve for the water to keep flowing no use ! What's the biggest radiator I can fit into this S2 engine bay ? I've a massive front mount so kind of need a skinny enough rad to get the job done. Cheers !!

Hybrid turbo will flow more air at the same boost level, so if I presume you're on standard management it's probably running lean and then getting hot.
Also, isn't a Fiesta rad smaller? Could be something that simple.
The valve you mention, do you mean the thermostat? If so, chuck that into a saucepan and heat it up. If it opens just before the water is boiling it's fine and you should put it back.
