Default smaller radiator on 90si?

Im going turbo on my 90 si. I was wondering if it would harm/help any if I used a radiator from a civic, one of those small *** ones, insted of my stock one. I would like to have a small one so I have more room for the manifold/turbo set up. Any input would be great, thanks guys.

The smaller the radiator, the less cooling performance.

If you want to run your engine hotter, then go for it.

i wouldnt recommend, i think the radiator is a bit undersized myself. you make more power at cooler temp, i'm using a 160 temp thermo to try to keep cooler
