I believe you have to relocate one of the lower mounting brackets(don't quote me on this), if you want to use the stock OEM radiator from an Integra GS-R.

I have been looking at Fluidyne, but they are way expensive. Try radiators.com!

What motor do you have in the DX, if it is just stock, and you plan on staying that way, just replace it with the same radiator from a junkyard or something. You should be fine.

If not then. . .

I'd just get the Koyo Del Sol dual core from http://www.radiators.com if you plan on getting a swap in the future.

I was thinking about getting a oem radiator, but I am most likely getting a b16a2 swap in the next couple of weeks, so I was thinking I probably should go with something that is aftermarket because, a stock oem radiator would be harder to cool a bigger motor? right?

i would just run OEM. FI Cars shouldn't run too cool sometimes cause the ecu sometimes sees a too cold condition and makes the car run rich which is not good.

a bigger radiator does not make your car run any cooler. a thermostat with a lower opening temp. would do that. I would recommend the dual core, esp. if your are planning a swap or FI in the future. and a new single core would probably be $20-30 less then the dual core, so go for the dual.
