hmmm..no one mentioned how the radiator is when it comes to the actual cooling. the fitment issues shudnt be such a problem to fix.

The issue with cooling isn't so much the radiator itself, but getting more air to the radiator. If you want more cooling, get a front bumper with a wider opening to bring in more air.

i do have a new bumper now....with a larger opening, i guess ill give ducting a try too. but it gets really really hot here so i doubt it will help alot.

oh and by fitment issues i meant that it just requires some grinding and drilling.labour here is cheap.

Simply getting a larger radiator doesn't mean better cooling. This is what I alluded to above. Increasing the radiator capacity without increasing the airflow can actually cause worse cooling. If you are really serious about cooling, you should look at multi-pass radiator with a larger front opening and proper ducting. If you want better cooling, don't look at some cheap radiator, look at something which has the proper engineering behind it.

Keep in mind, even here in the USA, there are many places that see temps over 100F with high humidity.
