I have one using a 2.0i Pinto - right on the limit, if I get caught in traffic, even for a few minutes the temperature gets right upto the upper limit. It has not boiled over yet but very close to it.

Excellent cheers guys. I am going to be using a 2ltr pinto to start with so it sounds like a micro rad for me.

Im using one with pinto. Works well. i have some holes to cut in bonnet to help with summer hot air to escape. Might consider water wetter later.
