Radiator airflow
toey1984 - August 30th, 2012 at 12:19 AM

Just wondering how much airflow is required to cool a ej20 turbo motor.
Looks to me I will be running a jeep Cherokee radiator ( would love to use an alloy one this size though)
It's in a beetle which the radiator will be mounted in the front bumper.
As I don't like the idea of no spare wheel as a every day use car.
So my questions are:
How much area do I need of cool air in the front of the bumper,
How much room behind the radiator do I need to let hot air disperse?
