Default Ebay radiator

I have a limited budget and need a new radiator, i would like to get a koyo or fluidline rad but as far as i have seen there a bit out of my price range atm.
Anyone have any experience with these ebay ones?

I do. I bought the cheepest "new" radiator I could find on ebay Im pretty sure it was just under .99 cents. But the shipping was where they gained their profit it was like 30$ to ship. Still a bangin price for new. They are made in Phillapines and they are light weight and the fins look like a honda core. The plastic end caps are a lil different. The radiator cap that comes w/ it works fine but it looks of shitty quality. It also comes with new brass for auto tranny cooler. Fitment was great and performance was great. I put a slimline fan on it i bought on ebay for 14$. way up

Buy one for as cheap as possible to get you by until you can get one of the more expensive ones, or of the ebay one works out fine then you don't need to spend anymore and you can give it a

EDIT*
I wouldn't worry too much about buying a radiator from ebay, I'd just stay away from things that really REALLY effect the safety of yourself and others such as trannys, axles, wheel bearings, ETC ETC.

im not sure what the capacity of the rad is; but its always better to have surface area rather than thickness

muller is right but this should be fine for ur b-series setup. Like I said I ran one on a b18b1 (where originally the integra had the larger surface core) and it worked like a charm in my 4 door civic (RIP). And this was in summer 90+F.
