I have a celica charge cooler to fit to the mr2 its a rev 3 turbo just wondering which radiator is the best to fit, i see a lot of you guys go for the fiat rad but want something a bit bigger and thicker to try get temps as low as possible, can you guys reccomend anything? i have been looking on chargecoolers.co.uk but they are £200.00 now im sure they are worth the money but just dont have that right now any ideas? A lot of GT4 pumps tend to sh*t the bed when put in Mr2s. Not using the celica pump ive gone for a new bosch pump, can i ask what temps you are getting and on that turbo and boost pressure?- 1.1 Bar and my water was always cold even after a long run. Make sure you get some good heat reflective material on the bottom of it to keep engine heat away from it. Radtec will do nicely. 
running 1bar @ approx 350hp and after a 2min run at full race pace ive never seen iat above 35 with a turbo outlet temp off the scale (80+).£200.00

Probably not the cheapest (fleabay etc) but it does the job very well. My one is kind of like a sandwich affair, with a fibreglass insulation in the middle. It's probably about 2-3-4 mm thick. 
do i need to heat shield and thing else or heat wrap anything when changing to the st205cc as you can probably tell im just trying to get it to run as cool as poss.. Tight and does require I believe a bit of work if you're running air con too but it does fit. As for making the engine run hot, does the GT4 suffer from this and if not why would the mr2?? Having gone through the hassle of a charge cooler setup (GT4 as here) and having removed it cause it had some issues I'd say - not something you want to have to do twice so do it right first time- the bosch pumps are crap, open pipe flow is fine but in the mr2 with that length of pipework and twists and turns = crap complete newby to this as would ask why you leave the old rad in place. my aircon has been removed so thats out of the way and i was looking at another turbo cars rad (as my existing one is damaged anyways) to completely replace the existing rad a fabricating new mounts for it...if the 205s rad is the best way to go then ill definitely go down this route instead though.Raptor wrote:im looking at getting all the parts for this and generally have seen people go with fiat rads infront of the existing rad.
It is completely seperate, and only flows the coolant for the charge cooler setup.+ water flowing through it, which wouldn't do much for charge temps
