yes mate, use the standard rad, mine fits, just had to trim a tiny bit off the end of the rad where the actuator hits it.

Or drive around with the heaters on full heat and full blast with your windows down. It works

mine never really ran too hot, the only problem i had was water flying out the overfill bottle but i sorted this wil a honda rad cap 1.1bar i think it was.

U can buy a koyo rad that is aluminum. It will possibly help. Also check your headgasket.

Have you checked your AFR's and EGT's?

 

[asifatyard21]

thans all
wat you mean by AFR'S and EGT's??
thinking about just replacing the smaller rad with the standard one and put it in the place of the air con which i will have to remove?

Ive never had a problem with a smaller rad, keeping cool, with a ct20 turbo.
If the rad flows well enough then there shouldnt be a problem.
Sounds to me there is something else wrong and not the rad.
