It should work fine. I have a stock Civic Si radiator with a slimline fan on my GSR and that works just fine. I'm getting a pusher fan in addition to the puller fan for this summer.

Mishimoto radiators used to be a great deal, but they're way overpriced now. Compare these 2 radiators from the same seller (good seller, by the way).

Mishimoto - $160 shipped:

Unbranded, but looks identical - $81 shipped:

It's the same thing, but doesn't have Mishimoto written all over the place. The only difference I can see is the drain petcock.
