Greetings
I was wondering if someone knows if a radiator from a V6 MX-3 fits on a 4 cyl. I have a 1.6 DOCH and I want it to run cooler to see if I get a bettter performance. IF not, which radiator should I use
HOpe to hear from someone soon

I don't think you will gain much performance from a v6 rad, even if it does fit (which I think it does). Your better off looking at other options for performance.

I think the inlet and outlet are in different locations. So although you could make it work you'd need some universal hoses and whatnot. However it will not improve your performance. The engine is designed to run at it's most efficient temperature. Believe it or not, engineers spend time calculating exactly how much heat to remove through the cooling system to keep the engine at it's ideal temparture.

Quite. Mind you, it's not that the radiator isn't efficient enough, the running temperature is set by the thermostat. You can always try a cooler one

Thank you for your answers. Ill see what else can I do
IF I change the thermostat, which one should fit that could run cooler?

Ummm... get the thermostat that is specified for your model car, and get the lowest temperature one available.

thanks for the info
ill check it out.....
