Two radiators?
Turbo Mini Forums

Does anyone run two rads? One either side maybe, or one on the normal passenger side and one up front.

I was reading a Mini mag with Matts mini williams in and see he has a 2nd rad, but the picture isn't very clear where it is, Looks like its at the back of the car but exhaust?


any pics?

Lightweight racer coming soon.

it is under his boot floor i beleive.

one decent front mount rad should suffice i thinks.

EDIT. double post. only clicked once and no refresh......wierd....

yes its under the rea subframe

i run one from my heater take of through and old mini heater then into the normal heater works well.

although she still gets hot in hot conditions so i am going to get a better one made

always looking for them bigger bunches of bannanas

I run the heater loop through a 13row oil cooler mounted at the front, It helps a lot when you are moving..

I run a full on ali job and a decent electric fan, havn't had problems with overheating at all. I beleive the wetr water product works quite well (so i have been told)

Just a note - oil coolers are the most inefficient way of cooling water on a car - you are better off with a heater matrix!

Stefan must have a decent look at your rad next time as I run a twin rad set up.

hi i run two full size rads in my blue car one either side the normal rad is std the second rad is again a std rad but with a bottom rad cap placed on the top. the rad cap has the pressure releif part cut out and run a metro expastion tank run is as follows
bottom of headerto bottom hose
thermostat housing to top of second rad
bottom of second rad to top of std rad by thermostat bottom hose std
the over flow from filler neck returns to top of header
she runs at 70degs @18psi boost all day run the track on a hot day
also run elec fans on both rads and a 6 blade mechanical
rad tech now do a extrem rad which is twice the width of a std one which fits under the wing with only a few small mods

Thanks chaps, was just a question tbh, not sure if I plan on doing it yet!
