Default Radiator ? for B18C1 swap into 93 Civic EX coupe

After the B18C1 swap is complete into 93 Civic EX, will the stock Civic radiator handle the cooling job of keepin the engine at liveable engine temps? Or should I plan on upgrading and installing aftermarket Integra radiator w/dual fans? For the time being, the engine will remain stock other than intake and exhaust.
Any help appreciated,
Pike

any other radiator would be overkill, most guys with larger radiators usually use them for roadrace/track purposes in hot climates

I'm running a Del Sol dual core with mine, so theres a cheaper option for ya. Was less that 90 bucks.

Is there any problem with the b18c1 header not matching up with the cat in your civic. I just bought a b18c1 for my 94 coupe and have seen some posts that the header isn't long enough. Have you come across the same problem?

Just use a GSR cat and it will bolt right up to your civic exhaust

Does it have to be GSR, or could it be any Integra?
