I’ve personally found the standard mpi rad a bit marginal on a normal 1380, so a turbo might be a step to far on a hot day in traffix On 7th Oct, 2010 5haneJ said:

I've got a denso alternator on the shelf but I couldn't get it to work. Might try that again failing that, Med do a 60amp smaller one. Bit pricey though. My build thread..

Van used to cook with an MPI rad. I had a cinq rad with a 2wd cossie intercooler above it in my clubby. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

The MPI rad isn't good enough for my engine, it doesn't cope very well during summer. Sitting already baking and then you have to put the heater on to try cool it down a bit haha. But I was wondering how people got on with the ebay specials too as it's definitely something I need to change on mine.. Edited by Shauna on 17th Nov, 2017. They don't die, they just get faster! |

I lowered my number plate on the original brackets and put 4 swaged holes in the front panel, arguably with a bit of ducting that wasn't required.

The alloy mpi ones are thicker than the standard mpi ones. And are 2 core. Not sure what a standard type is though. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

I'd never run a side mount with out the mechanical fan personally.

OT your intercooler is similar shape to mine. Mine was off benny which was a copy of Nics. How does it/where does it attach? |
