Default What Radiator? (on a tight budget)

Well i had a CNR on my civic hatch, on Sunday something hit it and it now has a Large hole in it. The engine is a b18c bored to a 2.0. I never had any cooling issues with the CNR radiator. At the moment i dont have 300 hundred dollars to spare. I found a LS radiator at a junk yard near my house. My question is will this be efficient enough, and will I have any over heating problems?

If your on a tight budget then go with something factory. If your tight on money and on space try a factory civic half core radiator.
