Hello guys would a radiator be alright from a 1.2 be alright to run a c20xe, the thing is I brought back in the money days (before rent ect lol) a alloy radiator and I'm now thinking its over kill tbh and I'm insure whether to buy the slim line fans for it or just keep the 1200 rad and sell the alloy one on as the car will only be for road use.

Cheers for any advice in advance

no not being a d**k but they are more for race rally applications, you could use the 1.2 for a let conversion also

I'd stick wi the alloy one tbf the standard 1.2 one will do a job buy the alloy one will be more efficient and since you already have it it ain't costing owtto fit it

This. however A standard 1.2 one isn't up to the job imho. Why spend £££ on your conversion and skimp on cooling? I've always used gsi full length rads on my xe conversions. if you have an alloy one even better!
