I just bought one at a local auto store. I believe it was a 'stant' branded cap

If it's the radiator specifically designed for your car, the stock cap should work. If for whatever reason it doesn't, a cap at Autozone/Advance Auto/etc. will.

Just make sure you get one with the proper stock pressure rating. Going too high can cause you to overheat.

I had a Greddy "N" type radiator cap for my 98 ITR but now I have a Fluidyne radiator. However the cap isn't the same. I believe it uses the old style cap like when I had my 1990 Integra DA. Which is why my Greddy is for sale.

Can you verify that the Fluidyne was specifically for a DC2 Integra?

Well, don't take my tone wrong but:

1: It came out of another ITR
2: Fitmet was perfect
3: When I had my DA and my radiator blew, my friend lent me his OEM DC2 GSR radiator because he went half size for his turbo and it was way...too tall to fit in the DA.

I put a double core Koyo radiator in my R last year. All of my OEM fans/shrouds directly bolted up.
I bought a Koyo 1.3 kgf/cm Radiator ($25) cap, when I bought the radiator.

Hmm. Well, maybe my info is wrong, but other than a custom radiator I had, the stock stuff always worked.

Whichever way, if the OP has a stock cap, might as well try putting it on right? I would think same deal with the fans, although if they don't any aftermarket fan in the right size would work fine.

I have a Koyo brand cap, fits fine. Auto part stores have ones that fit too.
