Hey folks, looking for ideas for keeping my engine cool. ive found a 71deg stat in the states that i'm thinking of buying (costs as much in postage as it is for the bloody part tho). i'm gonna run a large lecky fan infront of the rad along with the standard fan and new coupling and i'm wondering what rad can be recommended, what are others reliably using???

cheers for any advice!!

Im using m30 turbo, my engine bay gets VERY hot, but i use a standard m30 rad with 2 small fans and never have any probs. I think you should be looking for another problem. Maybe just an air lock?
