Default good aftermarket turbo radiators

1993 honda prelude si h23a1 engine with automatic transmission. I am looking for a good aftermarket 1/2 size radiator for my turbo app. I have a A/T so i will be installing a transmission fluid/oil cooler and a new engine oil cooler. I am considering purchasing all these parts from Mishimoto. Are they a good brand to use? I actually have to buy it to fit civic because the have no prelude radiators they also do not make a 3 core 1/2 Rad for my A/T so that's why I am adding a heavy duty trans cooler. Any help or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

this makes me feel a little better about mishimoto product. i am looking into koyo to see if they offer what i am looking for. ive heard and know a buddy had a koyo and liked it alot, but as for now i still lean towards the mishimoto, its great to hear that it is actually is keeping the car cooler than the stock setup. Hey Riceburner94si was that a half size rad or full size, just curious how many cores it has and if it is a half rad. thanks for the input so far! does anyone know if there is much difference between a prelude and civic rad around the 93yr also??? i cant seem to find anyone who makes a drop in half rad for my prelude.

Half size 3 core. Stock fan and stock temp on thermostat. The only thing that I changed was the radiator.

Anyone have any idea how close a civic radiator is to a prelude radiator, both around the 92 -96 era????? I would really like to order the mishumoto parts but they of course do not make a prelude 1/2 Rad, so im goin to make the civic Rad work if its remotely close to the correct size. Just wondering if anyone might know how close civic rads are to matching up on my prelude.

http://www.mizuracing.com/resultsApp.asp?pvid=41977 it is not the rad pictured, read specs.

Mods should be easy, hole for lower "mount" and brakets for upper mounts. 94

It doesn't seem the site is much help matching me up with a radiator that fits my application. Is there one that's close, maybe im missing something........I went ahead and emailed mizu to see if they might be able to direct me to something that may work.
