I would get an innovate mounts front x-member and a RCAutoworks half rad.

The x-member is super cheap, like less than $200 used. Contact Autoworks if you can't find one used.

The radiator is also super cheap. $70 brand new, or he has a aluminum version out now for less than $150. Contact RCAutoworks.

I can think of a few road racers myself who use the half rad.

I road race and will be going over to it soon.

Can you put up any reasons or proof why to use a full size? The half is a dual core while the full is a single.

Even if you have cooling issues with the half rad, put a block off plate on the side of the grill that doesn't have the rad in it, like non-ac cars have. i guarantee that'll fix it.

I dont think you'd have issues, but I plan on a B20 VTEC motor, and I run when it is over 100 deg ambient temp. My radiator is full dual core. I just feel good knowing that the engine will never overheat at all.

The half rad works fine. I had one in a hatch and it would actually go to the c on the gauge when I hit thr freeway. And it was a stock rad

Are there really radiator clearance issues with the HyTech header? It dosen't look like it sticks out that much.
