Chap maybe a stupid question... Looking for a new rad for a 1380 turbo.. What do you think about the fletcher alloy ones on eBay as to a 4 core Rad...
Or isit a no brainer 4 core option only... Currently Running 10-12psi*Clapping*

I used the Minispares 2 core and found it did get a bit hot in summer after a bit of a run. I recently swapped it for a Chinese alloy one (yeah you get what you pay for!) and found it was rubbish. It had way less fins per inch compared to the 2 core and would get hot even without a thermostat. Maybe not all the alloy ones are the same, perhapse a some of the British made ones are better?

Most people run the minispares 2 core.. or the fiat front mount.

I have just swapped from the minispares 2core to the minispares alloy just for the look, they both work well.

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.
VEMS + 12 PSI + Liquid Intercooler = Small Bore FUN!

I've bought a fiat cinq rad, and will get an electric fan, I have plenty of space to fit it easily behind an fg clubby front so it was a no brainer, just bear that in mind!
