cooling mods
 
Hey guys I know the number 1 thing or one most important things is to keep cool. I got my eyes on a koyo rad is there any other radiators you would recommend.

Cool tips:
A good glass of lemonade helps in the summer.
Wearing shorts will aerate your Kohonas...do not wear a speedo if you are 50!!.
(sorry man..I get carried away some times!)

Can you state the car you have as it helps to get specific info to get specific answers.
A Rad may be just a part of many things that you can do to help the car's engine temp.
Ducting and a good fan come to mind as well.

It depends on the year of your car.

FCs and SAs/FBs don't really need any cooling mods until you start heavily modifying or tracking them.

FDs require cooling upgrades to be used under any circumstance.

Cooling system performance is binary. It will either cool the engine sufficiently or it will not. Extra cooling will not make the car any better, and sometimes it will even hurt performance.

Therefore, besides the year of car, please also state the problem that you are having.

Your car is 26 years old and still running. What makes you think that it will not be OK? Is there something wrong?

As long as the cooling system works as it should, the stock system is fine and very over built for daily driving.

I've crawled on the 401 in the dead heat..
It'll be fine.

I get that on my YouTube channel.

"Why did you install A/C? You live in Canada"
"Why do you have such a big radiator in Canada?"

Conversely I mentioned in my last video it was -24C outside and that freaked people out just as much.
