I have a B18C1 in my EG hatch and was wondering if the stock radiator should be sufficient in New Mexico type weather? I have no A/C, power steering, but my radiator is custom mounted in the center. Should I upgrade to Fluidyne's radiator, or will I stay cool, in the hot summer with a stock DX radiator?

you can do alittle hacking in the lower mount poiints and fit a GSR or ITR or LS radiator in there, might be your best bet for the buck.
I run a GSR rad. in my 92 Hatch with a GSR swap... the used GSR rad. from http://www.importautosalvage.com was like $80 shipped.

I run a stock 130k mile VX radiator in my B16 EG. No problems at all. Also have a new fan switch, thermostat, and water pump. As long as your cooling system is in good shape a stock EG radiator will work fine.

your stock radiator should be sufficient. I have a C&R radiator though, reason being that my stock radiator was leaking from the fins and end tanks so I just replaced it with something better. kinda of overkill though.

Some guys run the stock radiator which I guess is ok. But after going all out with my motor swap and painstakingly putting every detail together why not have the added protection of a dual core radiator.

I used a 00 Si radiator cost was 114.00 plus 10.00 in shipping had it the next day.

I spent way too much on my swap/car in general... so I bought a fluidyne and I like it a lot- my temps don't budge from normal no matter what the weather is like and no matter how hard I drive.
Either way a little extra protection (weather an oem upgrade or an aftermarket) is good for peace of mind.

150K+ on my 92 VX with 99 B18C1 which has been in there for about 3 years now. Never has overheated, actually it hasn't went above the operating temp that the VX motor ran at.

99 honda civic ex automatic radiator

Fluidyne would be nice but kinda expensive. I heard that the dual core ex automatics are also good and cheaper.

91 CRX HF with a B16. I have the stock radiator, and have never gone past the half mark. Like someone said before, as long as your cooling system is working properly, it will be fine.
