Default Need new radiator. Which one is best?

Car smelled like coolant today and checked under the hood. Coolant was leaking from the top where the plastic meets the metal. Had searched but could not find an answer to my question.

I have a 1995 integra gsr with drag gen3 kit. What radiator can I get that is all metal and fits like stock with the stock fans? Koyo? PWR? C&R? Fluidyne? Pep boys ?

Also what is the qucikest way to replace it? Do I need to take out the downpipe,turbo and the manifold?

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Are they the same size as OEM? I am worried about clearance problems.

get the dual core PWR, I saw it, that thing look bad ***....I am just too damn broke, otherwise I'd have one by now...\and they are only a single size rad in length, good for those with clearnce issue with the damn ac fan...
but they work as good as the stock Teg radiator...

If your looking for a Fluidyne hit up boosted3g. I know he was trying to get rid of his cause his big-*** turbo would hit it.

Would it fit in my car? I have a t4/3 turbo with the drag kit?

yes it will fit, you need to get a slimmer fans, but it will give you enough plenty of clearnace....I still like the PWR though...

I just email the person selling the C&R radiator on groupbuycenter. He said he is positive and 100% it will fit beucase it has slim fan. Does anyone know if it comes with one or two fans?

has anyone ever custom mounted the kind you can by from Summit. They sell universal [all] aluminum radiators for like $170, custom mount a slim fan and boom $300 you got radiator and fan. I bet you could just bend some metal pieces to make the brackets. This is what I'm thinking about doing anyways.
