Can I use a bigger radiator in place of a smaller radiator?

[Shivam2112]

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?

And how is this different from your previous thread? https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/i-want-to-fit-2-radiators-in-parallel.953564/#post-6045000

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.

Previous thread was about 2 small radiators in parallel, Which turned out to be non usable in my project.
This thread is about using a single bigger radiator instead of 2 radiators

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.

Also please help with calculations and reports.

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