would it be better to fit a biger rad to a car ???

as now im re doing the turbo im gonna buy an alloy rad for it but as a normal escort rs or fiesta rs isnt a straight fit anyway im thinking of fitting the bigger cossie radiator???

would this give better coolig capabilities or not??

as my old fiesta rs rad & single kenlowe was crap

cheers

would give more cooling capability, but thats only a good thing if its needed as otherwise the thermostat will just shut it off anyway.

I Also heared if u go too big of capacity of a Rad it can have a detrimant affect as the flow of water could become slower with std pump. Not sure how true that is.

well the spec of the car is going to be

1.6cvh efi,,,steel rods & forge pistons,,,
stage 3 head etc,
group a t34
p8
anti lag
water injection etc

& i intend to give it some abuse so i spose it will be runnig fairly hot & need some good cooling???

just dont want to buy a cossie 1 if its a bad move or not needed??

I'm no expert, but I think the cooler the better. The colder an engine is the more power it makes. As Chip said about the stat.

I am looking into this, I will probably get Pro Alloy to make me a secondary radiator at some point , it's just finding a decent place for it.

thats my problem ,,,space,,,,

so would rather have to fit 1 big rad then another secondary rad at a later time,,,

are the inlets/outlets the same size on cossie and rst??

Some of the v8 stock cars that race with me have wagon radiators
