radiator questions
Im sure a few of you have seen me around here, and know im running a b20 vtec with built internals (and if didnt, you do now). i still have my stock radiator. i was overheating a little but i changed the rapiator cap (apparently the old one wasnt sealing) and now i havent had a problem. but the motor just runs really hot. The temp gauge stays were its supposed to, but it just seems hot. if i just run my blower (even at night) i get really warm air, warmer than my heater used to get with my 1.5 sohc.
so my question is what radiator do you guys recomend. i need something that can take california heat and the heat of a track.
also...heard that a prelude radiator (not sure what years, im thinkin 95?) fits in the front (since i have no a/c), but that you have to build brackets (not a problem) any knowledge on this would be cool. i bet i could get a radiator from a prelude for cheaper than a race radiator (since there are a 1000 auto salvage places near my house), but will it work as well?

everything sound normal, as long as the gauge reads right then your fine, but of coarse it never hurts to go cooler. i would suggest like a fluidyne or koyo for the radiator. and you can always add a oil cooler. there's OEM and aftermarket.

I'd just go with an aftermarket dual core rather than going with a racing one or a used one.
I bought a new Koyo dual core for cheap.
