Has anyone fitted one of these to a fiesta zetec s, any compatability issues? Always find its lacking a bit of top end.

And seeing as the temp is dropping would it be worth getting one of these to save on postage?

Thanks in advance.

Oh dear.

Horse power is not lost through the radiator FFs. Heat created by friction is transferred from the engine to the radiator by coolant. The coolant is then cooled by the radiator and then returns to the engine to start again.

Yes, friction in the engine is a loss of energy but there is no way to put that lost energy back into the engine via your radiator. If anything, insulating the radiator will make your engine run hotter and less efficient.

Who the Fook comes up with these stupid products...

Have a look at the rest of the site, it's all a (very old) joke website.
