I am completely certain that I will eventually need an upgraded radiator. Currently, I am using my stock CX radiator on my B16A without problems. Its fine for just everyday spirited driving. Road racing will be putting constaint strain on my motor's cooling system. Which radiator can handle this? Thanks for any input!!!

Baffled oil pan and oil cooler would help as well. Any aluminum radiator will help drop cooling temps as well. The biggest issues on the track is the oil sloshing around and the sump going dry and burning up the oil pump.

Ive been looking into a "crank scrapper", from crank-scrapper.com for my soon-to-be "race" car... lol.
Helps w/oiling and all that cool stuff

also, does that radiator/fan setup come w/an actual shroud? or just the plastic fan and the radiator?
if it doesn, you may actually run into issues. especially if you're "hot lapping" the car.
my buddy has a mishimoto radiator w/a slim fan on it, cant remember size or cfm but after 3 or 4 "fun" laps after a mid-August auto-x event he experience higher than normal temps (gauge would rise). He swapped on a stock fan and shroud and the problem went away.

it comes in the box ready to install with the best shroud of any aftermarket setup I've seen...

you can clearly see in the picture that the shroud is an excellent design
