get a del sol automatic rad. Its a dual core vs our single cores. And its the same small size and direct fit replacement. Or if you want to go bigger, which i assume you don't since your going turbo and prolly don't want a big rad in front of your turbo/manifold which produce lots of heat, you can get an integra rad. Just some cheap alternatives to expensive aftermarket rads.

thanks man... ya i know i can get a brand new integra rad from my friend that owns a repair shop he has link for parts like that... Im just woundering do you think this would be good enough considering im only going to run ruffly 7-8pis....

Delsol Automatic Dual Core Rad - Used But In Good Condition

or

Integra Rad - Brand New

Remember...intercooler also blocks air from reaching rad from front.
I run a dual core SPI rad. No problems over here.

I would say use the dual core del sol rad b/c its smaller but just as efficient. Your turbo and manifold produce A LOT of heat and you wouldn't really want a rad to be right in front of a source of heat such as a turbo and manifold. I've seen an expensive rad fan melt b/c it was too close to the turbo and manifold so i would definately go with the dual core. I think a brand new dual core del sol rad from part source is only like $200. But if you can get one used cheaper i would say go for it.
Glad i can help.

alright thanks... gonnna pick one of these up asap because during the summer on the way to cayuga a couple times the temperature gauge went qwite after hitting high rpms for awhile... but after i blasted the heater it cooled down within seconds... it also used to happen sometimes if the car was pushed hard and then stopped i guess because there was no air going threw the rad and the rad fan wasnt pulling enough...

another quick question... while im buying this new rad i mize well pickup a new fan maybe a better one... can anyone recomend a fan that would be better but doesnt cost a huge amount of money... and also that would obviously fit this dualcore rad im gonna buy... if anyone knows of a good fan for cheap let me know of the brand and possibly where i'd get it... thanks...
