I am curious to what size radiators are being used (Square inches) with success for proper cooling on a Subaru EA-81 engine with carburetors. Also is an oil cooler necessary?

Thanks

Dick

I have a water to oil cooler and 2 tubes through the sump with good airflow and have no trouble with cooling. Turbo as well. Radiator, I started with NSI brass unit but had to go to a purpose built aluminum unit and cools well now. 750mm x 250 x 80 deep.

Hello Dick:

I use the aluminum radiator furnished by NSI which is 24 x 6 x 2 inch. I
installed a 180 deg thermostat. I confirmed with extensive instrumented
tests NSI's statement that the oil temperature is essentially always the
same as or within a few degrees of the coolant temperature. Therefore an oil
cooler is not required.
