Aftermarket Radiator
I agree, i must've missed conzetts2k saying that he is on the track, please show me where he says such?

That's completely different than running it hard at the track for 20-25 minutes straight.

Funny, I have the stock radiator, stock fans, stock fan switch, stock thermostat running 15 psi on a sidewinder, and never overheated or got near overheating in 100+ Texas summer

+1 Why do you hate it? I have the mishimoto radiator, fan shroud, Mugen fan switch and mugen thermostat and I run 8 psi on a Turbonetics T4/T60 trim custom turbo kit with a log manifold and it works great and never overheats or gets near overheating. I really push that car and rev it to 8900 rpms alot and it works great as it is now, no issues at all. Now granted I wired the BOTH of the fans that came with the mishimoto fan shroud to turn on at the same time instead of just one and when the a/c is turned on it works perfectly and still stays cool with no issues at all.

Ran a mishimoto and hated it. Koto is set to be delivered tomorrow and will go in when I put the new turbo in. I also run 30% Honda coolant 70% distilled water mixture with a bottle of water wetter

If no track driving then you shouldn't need anything other than the stock radiator. So any of the listed will suit your unnecessary needs.
You will need an aftermarket radiator cap with the Koyo.
I was overheating after doing my turbo install. I upgraded to a Koyo Radiator, Skunk 2 Rad cap, FAL fans, Greddy oil cooler. I'm using a mix of about 20-25% antifreeze (not pre-mix), 75-80% distilled water, one bottle Red Line Water Wetter. Through K-Pro we have set up my fans to kick on at 195 degrees so I see an operating temp range from 195-202.
