Default Which Radiator to use for Backdoor Intercooler?

I would like to implement the backdoor intercooler on my 1994 integra LS and was wondering which radiator I should go with......I am using the maxrev kit.

i did some searching but no recommendations on backdoors. all i know is i need a civic half size radiator. will a stock civic rad work well? for around 400hp. im a poor college student and didnt have any plans to switch my radiator, but this backdoor concept is

what are my cheap alternatives?

There are many people who made mounts for the 92-95 raidator on there integras to clear big turbos. If you do use a smaller half size try to get the Del Sol or SIR one or autos too which are dual core and twice the thickness.

I'm using a replacement DelSol radiator...but then again it is in a Civic. It would be the same in an Integra though, you will have to fab a mounting method like stated above.

They are the same face area size, the DOHC Vtec DelSol radiator is thicker (dual core).
