Default b16 with cx radiator? is that fine?

i have a cx with a b16a2 in it and the previous owner recommended that i get a new radiator (it has the stock cx rad) because it "runs kinda hot" and it stays right on that little line thats a little below the middle

My cx radiator went crazy on me after only like a couple of weeks. It sprung a leak, but before that the radiator worked just fine.

It didn't really keep the motor very cool at all. So after it blew i upgraded to a gsr radiator. Had to modify the mounts but hey it fits. And works way better. My motor actually stays cool and my hood is buring hot to the touch after driving my car.


I used stock radiator mounts so it doesn't look tacky.
