not worth the hassle nearly all corsa radiators are the same size

what about different radiators? do any larger ones fit on with no hassle? and would the gains be worth the hassle?

i got a standard fan with the 2 litre at the moment, does the job i guess cos ive never seen over 100 degrees.

my fan is not working atm, so thought i may aswell look into any uprated ones? Also if i ever droped a 2l in what fan would i need? As i could fit one of them now as i need one and then it's there already for when i can do the conversion :D

any links to replacement fans? My exhaust manifold has pretty much melted through the fan cowl, so i may as well get an uprated fan too.

Water wetter is quite good - helps reduce surface tension of coolant, allowing it to lose heat a little more rapidly - just add a bottle to your coolant tank
