is it really necessary to get a bigger raidator for 500+whp turbocharged car?

i mostly drive my car on the street, barley track the car...

what you guys think?

 

Not so much a radiator but an oil cooler would probably be a good idea.

 

agreed....on my integra the oil temps were SCORCHINGGG in the summer time....no oil cooler....

the turbo really heats up the oil, and decreases the life of the oil

 

i already have a oil cooler

is the B&M oil cooler for honda any good?

 

Never had an issue with coolant temps in the summer.
Then again, as I'm typing, I recall I did install the lower temp thermostat and the fan switch. If anything that's probably all you will need for the type of use you will be doing.

Oil cooler would be of more importance. Temps do get upwards in the 220's and up with persistent use of boost in the summer time.

 

Can the AEM EMS control opening temperature of the thermostat, or is the 'stat conventional design? Same question about the fan switch.

What temp thermostat did you go with, and where did you purchase the 'stat and fan switch?

thanks,
Mark

 

The stat is a mechanical unit so you cannot control via EMS.
I believe you can control the fan switch through the EMS. You can control pretty much anything through the EMS.

I purchased the Mugen switch and thermo.
Don't recall where, it's been long but probably from horsepowerfreaks

 

IMO, yes. Overheating can be an issue. The stock radiator is really small and a bit pitiful.
