Re: (htowncruiser)
I have the same swap and have had these issues in my EK. I'll speak from experience.
The stock 1/2 radiator blows *** and the ITR radiator will cause clearance issues with the A/C fan. The full size rad will be close to the A/C condensor which will cause your A/C to suck since it will leach heat into the system and won't cool well. If you want to install the full size, you woll also need to modify the little mounts that the radiator sits in. That requires welding. Best thing to do is get a cheap, thick 1/2 size aluminum radiator from Ebay. That's what I did. It works very well and I haven't had any issues. since.
It has cooled exactly like my full sized ITR radiator and my AC works a lot better.

Re: (Malakai)
if it doesnt overheat, whats wrong with a single core stock radiator?
If you like bling or wasting money, go with that EBAY rad, heard the welding is top notch, but you dont really need a dual core unless you heat up.
You can always get a dual core Del Sol VTEC or civic SI dual core at a junkyard for pretty cheap.

didnt see that. OP, at least get dual core rad. All B-series either have dual core or a full width radiator for a reason i suppose...
