	wat about using the td radiator, thats quite a bit bigger, could be useful if you have over heating problems. im sure this is wat they use on one of the corsa let conversion phase kits.

	1.4 and 1.6 rads are the same size as 1.2's. so use 1.2 1.4 or 1.6 as long as they didnt have aircon as theyre to big to get the top hose to fit

	quote: Originally posted by astravanman nice one mate what else do i need for the conversion if u know would my 1,2 rad and fan be ok I think any rad will be fine as they are all capable enough of the job. My 1.4 sri rad blew up, but i think thats just cos its old. Now have a 1.6 rad and fan in there cos it was the first one i could fine, but the fan cowel fits a lot better round the exhaust manifold. You cant see it in that pic, but the manifold melted almost completely through the old plastic fan cowel.

	{engine has been cleaned since then! ;) ) The ecotec pipe is the black plastic pipe coming from the induction kit. Doesnt require cutting of the bulkhead to fit, and as big eck said, gives more torque.
