Default Radiator question for turbo kit.

Hi all, i'm new to the honda world and i am loving it!
Anyway, I have an EG hatch with a b16a and am looking at going the forced induction path. I have an integra radiator wich looks to be about twice the size (width) of the civic's (not sure about thickness??) and some of the turbo setups i have seen in civics have come fairly close to where my radiator would be.

Just wonding if anyone has a turbo setup in an EG with a teg radiator?

Secondly, i'm a little curious as to what ecu to go with for the turbo set up? Here in Australia i'm told by everyone that i should get the Apexi power FC, but everyone else seems to use HONDATA here? I'm a little confused as to wich would be the better option?

Any help or advice people could provide me with would be much appreciated!
thanx

A lot turbo manifolds require the use of a hlf radiator. Depending on your setup you may be able to use the Integra radiator.

As for engine management, IMO, it's not about the brand. If the Apexi gives you what you need and you can get it in the hands of a good tuner it'll be fine. A good tuner can work wonders....even with mediocre equipment.

Most of the tube style manifolds require you to use the half radiator,even in an integra.Some of the cast log style you can use the full width radiator but you might have to grind some of the block.The us delsol radiator is twice as thick as the other civic radiator (2 core) and is a good option.The usdm P28 ecu is a good choice but you might have some other options "down" there.The Hondata is your best option.A little more money,but its more programmable with ignition,fuel and boost mapping as well as data logging.
