Fitment:

Renault Megane Mk3 RS 265 (12-17)
Renault Megane Mk3 RS 275 (14-17)

This is an excellence all alloy radiator for the Renault Megane RS250/ 265/ 275. This is a brilliant yet practical solution for the well known coolant temperature issues due to the original fitment radiator.

The stock Renault Megane radiator has a major design flaw; the inlet and outlet are in a straight line across the core. At high engine rpm when you need the most cooling, the maximum flow is straight across the core, missing out about 75% of the volume. 

Worse still, the 25% of the core with good flow is directly behind the crash bar and gets no direct airflow. Forge Motorsports engineers have maximised the surface area and utilised a high efficiency radiator core with a unique flow enhancement for this.

This is to ensure that the coolant passes evenly across the entire core and that the area of restricted airflow (behind the crash bumper) is well taken care of.

The design was great and Forge Motorsports sent this for an independent testing. It had achieved a reduction of 20°C in peak water temperatures and also a drop of 15 °C in oil temperatures on the track. A significant result for a great commitment from Forge Motorsports team.
