Default Blox B18 turbo manifold question....

I am getting ready to install my Blox B series manifold with a T3/TO4E 57 trim
(5 bolt exhaust). My question is will I need a civic radiator or will I have enough room with my stock full size?

I don't know about the turbonetics wg but I'm running a tial 38 and I have no fitment issue on my integra. Only problem I ran into was the fitting on my slave cylinder is right in the way of the turbo inlet. I'm running a precision sc34. I'm still trying to resolve that as we speak. I have 2 friends running the same manifold with two different turbos though and they have no trouble with it being in the way.
