Yes street driven. Mine is fine on the streets also until (Jacksonville FL) you start boosting on and off repeatedly. When I go for spirited drives with the other s2ks in town, the other turbo guys and myself usually have the heat on after 5 minutes or so to help coolant temps. I don't see this rad helping with that.

232 was the highest I got before I noticed and turned the heat on. That was read off laptop before I installed my gauge.

I have never overheated my car with full power and street driving, definitely picking up this setup. Many high HP civic and integras have run half rads with no issues, I don't see how the S2000 would be any different unless on the circuit.

Interested in this setup. Has anyone tried this, are temps in check when boosted, etc. Please let us know.

I can't imagine this being any worse than the stock or aftermarket full size. Saves weight and cleans up the bay even more.
If you use your car for circuit racing it probably isn't ideal. But drag racing and DD duties it should be more than enough.
