bigger radiator for water-air intercooler, better or not?

Post by slickmasterc »

just wondering if it would be a good idea to throw in a bigger intercooler radiator replacing the smaller pokie one. Would there be any downfalls with it or will it work a bit better or just fine?

yes it will work just fine, then you can upgrade to a larger water pump after that, visit the MRT rally website... i think it is www.mrtrally.com/shop
they sell bigger radiators and pumps.

how would it be expensive as i was thinking of ripping out my air conditioning to free up space and weight, and use the air conditioning radiator as it is already in place and wouldnt have to make mounts up for a new one.
