Unless you can get some mega thin ones, you won't fit anything behind (specially with your big thick belt and pulleys).

why-psi if you are going to run the 5 core radiator, maybe you should try and get a smaller water pump pulley and see if you can increase the coolant flow a little? You might find your car runs a little cooler.

The reason I am not keen to replace my 2 core with a 3 core is if i do that i think my coolant flow rate will drop and the air flow through the radiator will be reduced (due to the extra row of tubes), possibly resulting in either a very minimal increase in cooling, no change or a reduction in cooling (read car overheats worse).

I would expect that the more cores/tubes a radiator has the less restrictive it would be to water flow.cool thanks steve, i read about this somewhere also. was going to use an electric motor to run the pump like the moroso electric waterpump drive kit, but if i turn the pump faster it could cause cavitation, so i might try the biggest davies craig electric waterpumps and get rid of my mechanical pump
I think you will find the problem is that electric fans do not have the power to provide sufficient air flow through a five core radiator. Typically vehicles fitted with five core radiators have large engine driven fans that take a couple of HP to turn.
If you can find a vehicle that has a factory fitted five core radiator and electric fans then it would prove the theory wrong.

My point was not that the 5 core would be more restricted for coolant flow, but that with 5 cores and much more tubes to flow through the coolant would move much slower through the radiator, simply because of the increased size.I would expect that the more cores/tubes a radiator has the less restrictive it would be to water flow.cool thanks steve, i read about this somewhere also. was going to use an electric motor to run the pump like the moroso electric waterpump drive kit, but if i turn the pump faster it could cause cavitation, so i might try the biggest davies craig electric waterpumps and get rid of my mechanical pump
