Default Coolant temp control ever an issue?

I've noticed after a few long stints of driivng, I'm logging temps of 220*+, seems like the CX Racing radiator the car came with my not be up to par with the car. Is there a prefered half size double core unit out there, or has anybody esle run one of these CX units without issues? At this point I'm considering just replacing the radiator with a new one but if the radiator has a track history of doing well, I might have to look in a new direction (fan etc..)

integra, right? it's more of an airflow issue. intercooler blocks all air to the radiator. either need a better fan or some holes in the bumper.

what's the thickness?....you should look for the 53mm width half sizes(koyo) if youre upgrading. Airflow could definatly be a issue a well. A good fan as Kyden mentions and a fan shroud would be helpful, try that before cutting anything in the bumper

T1 sells a fan/shroud kit....fyi

Well I think you're right about the airflow issue because the more I think about it, it was after I reinstalled the bumper that I noticed temps getting into the high side. I'm gonna have to look into the fan and shroud kit and give that a shot before trimming the bumper..
