Front mounted radiator conversion
Turbo Mini Forums

I'm in the process of researching converting to a front mounted radiator and i'm wondering which radiators from other cars fit into the front of a round nose?

I'm running megajolt with the standard oil filter housing, alternator and starter motor so i have a bit more room at the front of the engine than standard.

Also can anyone show me some pics of the radiators they have fitted?

Thanks
Andrew

Just use a front mounted mini radiator? I mean, a little ingenuity and you could fit just about any rad up front...

Cinquicento rads are very cheap and cost next to nothing on ebay. Search Cinquicento on here and you will find lots of people running them with good install pics (Matty and Ben spring to mind)

METRO MK1 RAD .

Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM

Cinquicento. Cheap, light and efficient. Hoses both on the same side and a fan switch, ideal.

i have mounted a mk 2 glof rad in the front of mine but mines a clubman i bought a brand new one off the bay for £30 delivered there are loads out there take a trip to the scrappy with a tape measure also depends on it you want to cut a bit more out to have it even flusher

the car is finished now if you want pics of it with the new rad in and dizzy clearance ect let me know
