Radiators?

[P Whack]

Have just recently put a 3 litre v6 in my nova and still have the standard 1 litre radiator, is the gsi one any bigger as in flow wise? as it seems to be gettin hot also where can i get a slim line fan from?

[General Baxter]

best bet would be a cav rad,

Get measurements of the space you've left for a rad and get down your local Scrappie and see. Its quite difficult to say what your options are without measurments.

Well its a tight gap but wanting to know if the gsi rad flows anymore ?

[General Baxter]

no its just got greater surface area

[P Whack]

Well any suggestions as to what will be suitable? seemsd to be getting warm rather quickly!

[General Baxter]

id fit a gsi rad, with a std fan on the back (normal), and two small blow ones on the front on a switch :)

get a gsi rad from Halfords new (about £60ish) and use that with either a slimline pacet/kenlowe fan mounted either front or back dependant on space. If its good enough to run a turbo lump should be fine on a V6.

I ran a pair on my old turbo.

As above.

One single push fan should do it IMO

add remember the v6 has an oil cooler which is water cooled, so this will make it even hotter

id got two fans ;)

Can you ditch the oil cooler? They are problematic & many V6's get scrapped because people assume thengine has HG failure or porous heads.

GSi rad is deeper than a std Nova rad.

i dont really know,

it sits inbetween the two heads, with two pipes going to it some how, im sure you could just connect the two pipes together and fit an air one
