Half radiator

Hello,

I recently went faward face with a 7677 turbo and a built engine also have a good oil cooler installed ...got me a koyo half radiator and I have notice the cars temps going to 80°c to 85ish or 180°f 185ish °f on normal driving ..stop and go traffic...guess thats normal for a half size radiator...haven't gone full boost yet.

Is there anyone making a radiator bigger then the half size radiator to work with the faward facing mainfold?? Bigger core to size too cool better ??

Thanks

my car isn't over heating it's just that I had a full sized radiator which kept the temps below 80 on back to back runs..now with the koyo half rad it's like 80 on normal DD.

Guess that's normal for half radiators...wiah I knew this before otherwise I would never have gone faward face.

Dame that was a lot of reading lol...I have the koyo half radiator and a spal 12 inch fan....I want a bigger radiator but it seems no one is selling or willing to make one ...will try out the koyo for daily and if it doesn't work out I might switch back too down facing mainfold and back too full size radiator...dame it...wish I have read all this before going faward facing !!!! Also my block is half filled and will run hot in any case from what I understand.

It's a CSF radiator, not a sheepey.

I'd buy a CSF before any koyo. I have their full width race radiator in 4 cars, including mine. Works awesome.

No i get it i was thinking of that thread which made me think of what you were looking for. I just remembered it was an ac condenser not a rad.
