i have a b16a sirII and i'm using my stock cx radiator. it isn't overheating or anything but i wanna put a bigger radiator because it gets pretty hot. the cx radiator works just fine though.

the cx one can work but is prone to leaking. I sell and use the koyo dual core dohc radiator so the hoses match up to the radiator outlets so no leaks.

i bought some big to small pipe adapters at the hardware store and some hose clamps to make the sir hoses fit the cx radiator.

I also used my stock radiator on my car and have had no problems....but my buddy w/ an EG Hatch used his stock radiator and he is having some problems with leaking....I would get an aftermarket radiator i.e Koyo/Fluidyne so you don't have to deal w/ any leaking later on. Hope that's any help
