eBay has great deals on aluminum rads... I have had 2 and they have worked great(1/2 size & a full size integra rad). Even had bosses for using an OEM fan.

I picked up my 1/2 size for around $75 shipped a month ago.

most likely, yes you can. just make sure the one you get has mounts for the OEM fan. Most of them do.

Get a mishimoto radiator theyre really good and you might as well go with the mishimoto slim fan to cus it initiates better cooling. You can run it with an OEM fan but its better to use the mishimoto fan itsa lot better.

well the mishimoto thermostat opens at a cooler temperature of 140 degrees, and has a lifetime warrenty but, the koyo thermostat opens at 160 degrees, but what i like about the koyo one is that if it breaks it stays stuck open, does anyone know if the mishimoto one does that?
