Default Radiator Help / Temperatures getting hot .....

For my application I have to use a civic half radiator because of tight space. The one I have is an ebay one....the one for about 50 bucks and it looks like its a 2 core. There is already a nice fan on there.

Now my question is I need more cooling....do you think the HASTE 3 core civic half radiator for 200.00 is going to help keep temps more cooler??? It says its a 3 core.
worth the 200 bucks?
they have a 36mm,53mm and 64 mm version

OR IS THERE ANOTHER HIGH PERFORMANCE radiator this size that will work?


Here is the link:

FWIW: I used a stock replacement from a 94 Del Sol and have not had any problems with overheating except when i recently put on my big turbo and had to try some different things that didnt work. But eventualy used a stock 92 DA a/c fan and wrapped my downpipe and have had any problems since.

how much of a gap between the FMIC and radiator?

You should really install a dam on the rad. support around the open spaces to force the air thru the radiator.
