Default cooling system issue

I have an 89 HF CRX with a b series swap and I am looking into upgrading my cooling system I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with fluidyne or ron davis radiators for the 88-91 civic/crx.(will be boosted soon).

i have heard good things about the fluidyne radiators...nothing about the others, but a little research will prolly help with that. Just make sure, that if your gonna boost, that you get a radiator, or exhaust mani that will allow for proper clearance.

If the turbo sits too close to the aluminum radiator be prepared for it to spring some water leaks.

I have checked into both as far as cooling properties are concerned and both are pretty close in comparison. I was just wondering if anyone has used one on thier own vehicle and had any personal experience with them. The maniflod should have proper clearance once I find the right radiator.
