Double, better

Dear friend,

Originally, MIVEC engine just used only single layer of radiator and this only applicable in Japan (don't have very hot climate). Since Malaysia have a little bit high temp during day time, it is better you use double layer radiator. Cooller your engine, better the performance.

Engine Performance

Now, I'm also driving MIVEC engine with dual layer radiator. Two mechanics say same thing to me; better has dual layer radiator. Reason: to cool the engine. Why we need cool air intake?? same reason why we need to cool the engine. Same answer: to get more performance!:p Even it will not give big impact to your car, but atleast theoritically it is happen. If you check 1.6 engine for Proton, it is using dual layer radiator. In Japan, they do not require this kind of dual radiator since they have vary cold climate. But in Malaysia.... panas oooo...
