    vs commodore V6 S2 and a BA XR6T
    hey all well my car is a series 2 VS but does not have the factory extra cooler that i believe all series 2 came out with, also it has the push on cooler hoses and not the screw on ones..... anyway, I want to put one on and bypass the factory one in the radiator as me cold air intake fouls on the hose and kinda squashes it lol. Anyway what would be the best one to get ...a V6 one or V8 naturally a v8 one is bigger resulting in better cooling but would it cool it too much to cause any damage? or is it the cooler the better? and is there any places on E-bay that sells them (in Australia)

    cheers

    That's the factory one and it was the factory response to auto overheating problems so you'd have to trust that it is good.
