In process of building m20 turbo aiming for approx 300bhp.

Will a standard 325i rad be ok or is there an alternative.

The car will be used mostly on track.

many thanks

Yep, mine's standard too :D

Stays between the quarter mark and under half on the gauge which is between 87degrees max temp and somewhere under 85 min :D

I'm running stock too, fresh one but stock.

Ants stock too, as is D1MMY, Folwer, the baur beast & Dean....infact I can't think of anyone who has upgraded....

Toby is running the 535i rad but thats due to having the M30 lump.

HTH, Mark.

EDIT: Thinking about it Lennie had a different rad in but I think that was more a space issue than an item issue.

( P.s Lennies moved house and as yet aint got access to the net, he'll be back soon he said :D )
