Default Upgraded radiator+fan for my B18c swapped 92 Civic LX

What should I go with? I was looking at a GODSPEED radiator+slim fan that's made for a 92-00 Civic. Sense I have a B18c swap, do I shop for radiators for Integra's or do I stick with my year civic? Links to some products would be highly appreciated. And recommendations for complete upgraded radiators hoses would be appreciated also.

Thanks,
Jeremy

best bang for your buck is probably

if you're staying half you need all the surface area you can get

All else being equal, copper radiates better than aluminum. Of course they don't look as nice with plastic end tanks, but shiny black is fine too. The thing you have to look out for is the size of the inlet and outlet for the radiator. The DOHC VTEC engines have larger diameter hoses than the SOHC ones. If your buying a new radiator, make sure it's the same as the 94+ Del Sol VTEC that came with a B16.

I got the Del Sol VTEC radiator from radiator barn and it fit perfectly in my EG and by buddies. We drive in 115*+ weather with no issues.

Try looking at Koyo www.koyoradracing.com, you can run the civic model(1/2 radiator for turbo applications) or the integra model(full size if space permits to get the best cooling efficency. Fans I would use FAL slimline models, due to OE fit and function.
