whats up guys, well i have had the b6t swap in my fest for a while now, im using the stock 1.3 rad. my engine always seems to be running hotter then it should hence the bubbling and rad fluid filling the overflow everytime i turn the car off and it getting hot as well when im sitting in traffic, but it never seems to overheat.. im not sure if my rad is just bad or just cant handle the heat that the bigger engine and turbo generates. i did replace the radiator months back when the car was a 1.3 so i don't really know, must need an upgrade. i was thinkin a aluminum performance rad for a honda.. anyone else run something similar??

Do you know about the ATX Festiva double core radiators? It's a bolt-in.
Or use an Aspire radiator, which is a bit wider. You'd have to move mounts on one side though.

Just the name Porsche sounds like it would be more expensive than even a new Festiva auto radiator or an aftermarket honda one. (my aluminum aftermarket honda radiator was $100 on Ebay).Originally posted by project b6ti have a porsche 924 radiator. the hoses need a little work and you have to do your own custom mounting but it keeps my engine nice and chillyComment
