Default Rad upgrade for EG civic hatch

Hey boys and girls.
Since putting a turbo on my sohc Z6/Z8 I don't like the over heating potential.

So I'm looking for a new rad with more capacity and better cooling. Obviously I don't want to pay an arm and a leg for a good rad but I want some thing good.

What about the Koyo aluminum rad oem replacements? They are priced well, but I don't want to put in another rad that still can't pull its weight ya know.

I know of this delsol duel core rad. Can I get that from honda and is a decent rad which will cure my cooling ailments?

Or do you have a used fluidyne to sell me?

Advice wanted please, I want to buy this thing soon.

I don't quite get it fella's?

Anyway is it just as well to get a koyo or honda rad? Is the koyo a better choice.

Check this koyo link out and tell me which one

http://www.importrads.com/price.cfm?...ookupid=177731

Where is the best place to get a fal fan.

Does anyone have a picture of a decent koyo rad? And do they have welded aluminum tanks?

Do you think a fal fan and some watter wetter will do the trick? Is this worth while trying before I buy a new rad?

BTW Titian motor sports have a 37" PWR rad on for 288. Which I thought is a good price.

Do you have any pics of the 6th gen auto rad? Will this work with my stock fan?

radiators.com

1995 DelSol Vtec radiator replacement made by Koyo (not the aluminum one) only $125 shipped and working well to this day. It has B series inlet/outlet sizes so you will have to streach your D series hoses to fit.

So is this to Koyo replacement or the OEM replacement?

Also the rad from the 6th gen auto's, is it a bolt on replacement?
