Boy, you catch me every time{:>)
Thanks for the info Rusty
Paul,
I calculate out Rusty's
radiator to have a volume of 17.5*24.25*2.25 = 964 in^3. Given that he
was running a turbo, he would naturally want/need more cooling capacity than a
NA block. So his basic radiator was approx 50% large in volume than two
cores. Since he could produce up to that much additional power with his
turbo, it would appear that his is sized about right - perhaps a bit on the
large size since he probably would not run under high boost at
cruise.

IBut, in
any case, I think your currently planned radiator size is
undersized. FWIW - always keepin mind my knowledge of radiators and
cooling is quite limited.

Your knowledge of radiators and cooling may be
limited....however, my knowledge of radiators and cooling could be written
on the head of a match. Thanks for your valuable input, Ed. I was
trying to come up with a radiator that could be placed directly in front of
the NACA duct, as Al Wick did. I will probably go with a larger
radiator, EWP and fan. Thanks again. Paul
