Default Engine Overheating*****rad question

Hey guys I'm in a bit of a trouble. I had another post here but I didn't really explain what the problem was.. Here it goes.. I am driving my car and after it warms up it takes 20 minutes of moderate driving to throw a CEL on my Hondata saying Engine Overheating.. My issue is the crappy stock rad that I have.. I am looking to replace it with an aftermarket one but I am not sure which one will fit since my turbo is in the way on the left side and there is no way of putting a fan there.. My intercooler is already taking up space on the front.. Here are some pics of what I mean.. Anyone have any suggestions I would really appreciate it.

have you tried running a water hose through it both ways, and making sure the system is bled? before changing radiators.

Turned out to be the thermostat that was crapped out. Just a quick question what is the normal operating temperature in Fahrenheit for a B18C after it is fully warmed up? Whats the safe temperature range the engine can be run in from min to max. My engine is built. Thank you.
