1.8T Radiator & Fan, Unsure what to use......

Hey guys!

Just wondering what the best rad is to use on my 1.8T project?

I dont really want a top fill rad as I want a sealed unit and to run an expansion tank.

Also i've been looking to use an 11" Revotec slimline fan.

Can anyone recommend what i should be going for bearing in mind its not a standard 1.8T conversion. (250bhp+)

Cheers

Steff

mk2 16v rad with a slimline fan or if you got room a mk1 gti rad will do

Thank you!!

I used my mk1 rad as it was new with a mk2 16v cowling on it to clear the inlet manifold  

Is mk3 16v better?

I've gone for a new MK1 GTI rad and will be getting slimline rad of some kind for it due to space issues.

Not sure about the MK3 rad though.

Did some research on a supplier i found. rad prices range from £18-£31 delivered
Not sure which to go for!?? and what size slim fan to use? will 1 12" fan be enough or should i use 2 smaller like 9"?

I think the MK2 16v is the most popular one to use mate,

Thats what ive read but its bloody massive! and my Focus ST intercooler outlets will probably just about come through! its cheap though, i think it was like £15+£8.50 delivery.

the mk1 rad is bigger than mk2 16v in lenght . you can move the rad inbetween the cooler if you wish by drilling 2 new holes for rad feet. mk2 16v with a 12inch fan is what im using


mk1 rad  core size L=525mm W=320mm D=33mm

mk2 16v rad  Core Size 430mm x 323mm x 40mm.

I was wondering where that size was from! found it on VAGCAT

there are two types of rad for the 16v mk2
675mm and 430mm
