    Cooling capacity of M42 radiator

    I'm planning a turbo build and I'm needing to swap over to the late model cooling system. I've searched and I haven't found any good posts on the cooling capacity of the M42 radiator for something more than a mostly stock motor.

    Has anyone run this setup with a turbo M20? I would love to clear up the engine bay a little more with this setup in the process.

    If you have some engineering background, you could make some assumptions based on the hp you expect to make and size a cooling module.

    This is not easy. If you run out of cooling capacity (you overheat) you can run a cooler thermostat (more time at high hp before you over heat) or the easy move would be to go to a bigger (thicker) rad or more powerful cooling fans.

    Still have AC? Nix that crap, I couldn't believe how much that gets in the way of the main rad.

      I'm no engineer by any means. I've seen people post up that they used it with m/s50 swaps, but nothing more than that.

      Its gonna be hard to get rid of my a/c around here in TN......
