It fits in all the original MPI mounts and has all the original MPI fan mounting points etc. Originally made for VMax Scarts supercharger conversions and now available for general sale. Interested? www.hytheperformance.co.uk Might be worth a post on 16vminiclub forum as i know some peeps there have used the mpi rad. Is it the same dimensions, thicker? etc?? Rich Here for the craic..

It's the same dimensions as the std rad but the core is thicker and has 3x the water capacity of the standard rad.

By the way. I just fitted an Mpi rad to my racecar with an electric fan. This setup did NOT cope.

That's a bummer! Our van struggled with one to be honest. What about an "uprated" mpi rad? Or aren't you wanting to try that? If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

I'm going the Cincquecento route. Not sure that'll do either, but who knows... On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:

We've gone this route with the van and it seems better already.

I have a Cincquecento one for the race car and I am sure it will be fine. Eric runs one on the turbo Clan and it does a good job. Mind you he has lots of water capacity in the pipes from front to back. http://www.twin-turbo.co.uk

Edit, I've got no idea whether it will make a difference but I also trimmed 20mm off the mechanical fan blades in an attempt to reduce the power consumed by it! - this is getting worringly obsessive now the quest for speed.
