    Nova XE radiator

    I'm worried about the 1.2 radiator I'm supposed to be using for this xe conversion.

    Are we sure that it will sufice for cooling?

    What other options have peps went for?
    thanks,
    steven

    I'm not worried about fitting it in there, just its thermal properties.

    The one with the legs are smaller therefore less cooling
    the early 1.2 and the gsi are bigger (same rad) so use one of those if you have the later smaller one on legs you will also need a new fan and shroud as well
