Default Which radiator on a.....(help I'm ordering soon!)

I'm getting ready to order my last parts right now for my turbo which will hopefully be on in the next three weeks. I'm looking to get a new radiator but I don't want to spend the 300-400 bucks for a fluidyne (sp?) or the like. Someone told me that the del sol dual core from the 97 vtec will be my best choice? Any oppinions? Suggestions?

I'm running a T-25 on a 97 1.6L non-vtech D series motor. I'm going to be hitting at the most for now 10 psi. What would you guys recomend?

I personally dont see a need to spend money on a radiator if yours is working properly. My temp gauge still reads the same as before I had my turbo. If I were you, I'd save your money and put it towards something else.

do u have a/c? If not u can get the full integra radiators...else just get the delsol dohc vtec ones. To be honest with you the civic type r engines use the same radiator as the sohc dx/cx ones. So believe it or not they aren't too bad!

So there really is no need to spend the 150 unless I notice my car running hoter? That would really help out if I didn't have to buy a new radiator. I won't be able to keep my a/c because of the way I have to mount my t25 on the hf manifold.

Anyone else think its ok to use the stock radiator? It has 93k on it but is in PERFECT conditon. Not a fin is damaged, honestly it looks brand new.

Don't worry about it unless you determine that you need one (i.e. the car is overheating).

Temp can go past 110C(230F) before your stock temp gauge will START to move past "normal", so I wouldn't trust it too much.

Great product, great customer service.
