Default K24A2+JRSC+Radiator???

For those that don't know I'm taking my JRSC off my K20A3 and putting it on a K24A2 and putting all that into my EP. The car is at the shop now and it will all get done this week. (I Hope)

I'm worried about heat. I've read most of the threads where people with K24 swaps have had overheating problems and realize that most of them had to do with not getting the cooling system properly bled, but the only person I know of that has done F/I on a K24A2 is Nossy so that added dimension has not yet been dealt with. A larger motor + S/C in that small engine bay = a **** load of heat so I'm thinking about going with an aftermarket radiator as a safety precaution. I've seen that Wiredspeed has a Koyo radiator for the EP. Does anyone know anything about these? Are there any other better options that I could look for? Or is this really not an issue and I'm worrying about nothing?

As usual all comments, suggestions, criticisms and just plain old wild *** remarks are welcome.

you can get a slightly vented hood also to help dissipate the heat.

some related experience...

the miatas are notorious heat sponges because of the body. some of the better ideas included a heat extractor hood, bigger radiator, SPAL radiator fans, a scoop in the under tray, oil cooler, and water injection, to name a few.
