    Radiator
In summary: You need to show your own effort at solving the problem. As for reports, we can provide guidance on what information to include, but you will need to write the report yourself. In summary, the person is looking to upgrade their radiator in their project formula car, with the same engine and pump. They are considering upgrading from a bike radiator to a car radiator and are looking for the potential drawbacks of this change. They also need help with calculations and reports for their project, which is not for school work. However, they are reminded that they need to show their own effort in solving the problem and writing the report.

I want to upgrade my radiator to a bigger one in my project formula car,with the same engine and pump, what are the cons of it.
Probably going to upgrade from a bike radiator to a car radiator.
Also please help with calculations and reports.

What reports? Is this for schoolwork?

No sir,this is not for school work, the reports consists of basic information and calculation of the radiator, these reports are submitted to the committee of judges of the student formula ,in which I am takin part in.

It is still school work. We need you to show your own attempt at answering the question. We help, but we do not do your work for you.

The main downside I see is that a too large radiator might prevent the coolant getting to the proper temperature range for the engine. Also, if the radiator is larger than really needed, it could take up space that might be better used for some other component.

We will help you do the calculations, but we won't do them for you -- that's not our job.
