Default What radiator would be best

I just got my B16 into my 91 STD last night, I want to upgrade the radiator while I have it out of the car, I was wondering what radiator would be better to use in my car, a 1990-93 integra radiator, or to just use another civic radiator or is there something better out there, keeping in mind also I am going to put a turbo on this car this winter, so anything that will allow me some extra room in the motor compartment would be great.
Thanks

any dual core radiator will work.

I would definitely go with 90-93 integra radiator being it's dual core and will cool off the b16 very well.

the stock crx one should as well, but upgrading to dual core will also be better.

Or look into any automatic Civic radiator. They are single-row dual-core.

i have a 90-93 teg radiator in my 91 civic std with b16 and it works great. Car never overheats and the fan rarely comes on. It does take up more space than the stock radiator though. If you are going to turbo, you could put a 92-95 civic radiator in (with some modification/ it has to be tilted back) or some EFs use a Dodge Neon radiator. Search the EF forum.
