Default Cooling system upgrade worth it?

I was told that the next thing I should invest in to help increase the life of the motor is an upgraded cooling system. So my question is what is worth upgrading on the cooling system? Here's what I was thinking about, Mugen cap, t-stat & fan switch, and samco hoses. All this would be for a mildly upgraded b16 using a JDM dual core radiator off of an eg6. So again, what is or isn't, worth it? the mods already done to the car are: I/H/E with a lightweight flywheel and very soon a ported TB(64.5mm) and intake mani.

the stock cooling system should be fine a b16 with bolt ons. none of the things you mentioned would help at all, just some added bling/rice, however you would call it. if you want to upgrade the cooling capabilities get a bigger radiator and a slimfan, the slimfan frees up alot of room in the engine bay no more pos fan shroud in the way
