Default EK Radiator upgrade, which?

Okay I've got a 96' DX Hatch and witihin a couple of weeks i'm going w/ a B Series motor, and i want to get the best cooling possible, so which Rad is the best choice around 600.00 bucks, i want a excellent performer, and are those spoon / mugen rads just hype? cuz they're expsensive are they worth it? and hows fluidyne? are they good, i dont want a nicer stock form rad, i want an upgraded rad, like more cores? or something of that nature, any help would be greatly apreciated.... thanks alot guys..

You can just use an automatic radiator made for your car. The 5-speed rad for your car is single core but the automatic one for your car is dual core. We just did an LSVTEC swap into a Del Sol and used an auto tranny rad for the Del Sol and it works perfect.

I dont think it is very neccasary at all to spend 600 bucks on a raditor unless youre gonna be boosting like 20 plus pounds or you just want the bling factor. I run a automatic EX radiator and its awesome. I had it with a H22 in the car and now with my B18b and never have any cooling problems. Oh and i would go with a C@R or a Fluidyne if you gotta have one.
