Re: Radiator question. (vc)
it depends on if you're using AC or not. I have an itegra radiator in my 94 cx hatch, but i don't have AC.
There is one minor issue in using a integra radiator with a d-series, the upper rad hose outlet on the integra radiator is slightly larger than the radiator hose that goes to the d16, so what i did was spray some wd40 on the outlet and stretch it (i'm good at stretching hoes/hose
)
the integra radiator is huge and it keeps my d15 really really cool
hell, i don't even run a radiator fan, mine was stolen along with my old motor setup (turbo b18c1) and the integra radiator is so large that it has more fins to disperse heat.
http://www.radiatorbarn.com has a really good all metal replacement for 125 shipped. They also have the absolute fastest shipping ever. (mine arrived in < 2 days)

a radiator fan is for when your car isn't moving, when you're moving, air comes through the grill and moves over the radiator fins. However when you're not moving for a long period of time, the fan cuts on and compensates.
If you spend a lot of time in stop and go traffic, you need one. However if you're mostly moving, you don't really need one. If i leave my car running in a parked spot for about 10 minutes, i'll overheat. I'd pick up a fan and hook it up if it was an issue for me, but it never really is.
you really just want to keep the air from being stagnant for a very long time.
