To those who have got a 3L v6 in their motor, what rad fits & works???
Polo rad (or Golf if you can fit it) will be fine.
HTH,
James
cheers,
I have one of them already (in fact I was going to fit two, but thats another story) but looking at I'm a bit dubious about the size, can it
really cool that engine? its soooo small!
just fit enough fan power!!
easy cure..
Tks
hmm smaller pump pully, now thats an idea, yeah ok I'll go with the golf one and filt couple of fans, one on the front and one behind.
Cheers guys.
Fan in front just restricts the air flow to the rad.
Just get a good one for the rear and it'll be fine.
Plenty of people with 220+BHP engines running Polo rads.
If you're still worried and can fit it, a MK2 Golf 16v one is 45-50mm wider and dual core. But it only 'just' fits my wider car so it
may not fit if you have a standard Locost.
HTH,
James
I run a 2.9 v6, I use a capri radiator from a 2.8i its dual core the car never overheats even in traffic
- more water
- more material (bigger engine)
- less bhp needed to move
(generates less heat at low revs)
When trowing rad will be needed on every car..
