1.3 or 1.6 radiator

Post by hypo »

Hey all, just wondering wot your opinions are on a radiator for my buggy..

I am running a 1.6 vit motor in front of a 3spd auto, it will b on straight LPG.

wondering if a 1.3L rad with big thermo will kepp it cool ? or should i go for a 1.6 rad ?

being a buggy is it rear or front mount?

I have a 1.3 rad in front of my 1.6mpfi and seems to work good with std clutch fan, i also have a vit AC fan in front also for a bit extra if needed.

I would try use the biggest u can fit in there.

hey Ben,

ive recently put a vitara radiator in mine with my baleno engine and its workin well on the trails........

i think the vitara radiator with a good size thermo should do the trick nicely.......

as said above get the biggest you can possibly fit.

I think the 1.3 rad should do it but if you dont have one yet and have to make mounts anyway go the 1.6. I used the 1.3 and while it does the job I should have gone the 1.6 as I had to buy a new rad anyway and would require only minor mods.
