scirocco radiator?

sorry, I know there's like a bazillion radiator threads now, but I need to get a new rad for my v-mount setup, and I'm thinking about going with a scirocco style radiator from summit or jegs but I'm not sure if it will cool good enough because its pretty small. I do plan on using the car for many many track days and drifting and auto-x, and any other kind of racing you can do, so I need something that will cool my engine good.

like this one.

you guys think I will have any problems with colling if I go with this radiator? I would get something bigger, but this size will work really good with my V-mount.

you can never go wrong with a Koyo or a Fluidyne i would stick with what is made for our cars, but thats only my opinion. Post some pics of the radiator for us

EDIT: didnt see the link, the price is nice, but then again, you get what you pay for and our rotaries need alot of cooling so becareful

My personal suggestion is to go with either the one you show from Summit or with one from AFCO. I just installed my AFCO radiator on the 20B and I noticed immediate results. Cooling is MUCH better now. Part of that reason is because it is a twin pass radiator. Looking at the right side of the picture you show, you can see a weld in the middle of the end tank. That is where a plate was installed to cause the water to run through the core TWO times instead of one like the Fluidyne and Koyos.

Just my $.02
