Default SOHC Turbo Set Up running hot

I was wondering if any one can help me with my problem. My car uses a lot of coolant and I was wondering if any can tell me what kind of radiator i should use with the SOHC Turbo. I was gonna use a GSR radiator but I'm not sure because I'm thinking about going with a after market aluminum radiator. What should I go with for my car?

Usually a dual core radiator from a del sol should be fine, but if you want to go aftermarket then any dual core radiators should be fine.

is it overheating? you probably lifted the head.. which is quite common for boosted d-series. its recommended that your change the headgasket, resurface the head, and install some ARP head studs.

Fluidyne Racing Radiator... expect nothing but the best.

Used it when i had the Z6Turbo, needle never even came close to midway point with stock thermostat. The stock radiator blew the top right after the turbo was installed. Highly recommend it
