Not quite true, just get your current one recored. A 4AGE one is larger, but only single core. So id put money on the KE30 in perfect condition having more cooling capacity than a 4AGE one. My 4AGE runs really cold in my car.

Others I know of (Evil_Si for example) run Civic radiators as they are really narrow but multi-cored.

Personally as I have done id go with a stock one recored.

got a quote to modify standard radiator and put in 3 core with Luvured Fins and swap outlet to other side

$430.00 inc

mmmm seems bit much when i seen full on alloy ones for that in a magazine, but would make things nice n easy

Why not just recore the stock one for $200, which will be much more than adequite?

oh yea thats what I forgot to say in my PM - i just had to have the inlet on the top tank swapped over to the other side so as to avoid having a waterline running all the way across the front of my engine.

that'd be the best option i'd say...

I didnt swap my tanks, I left them stock, because its a cross flow design and didnt wanna $&#$% with it. that and its totally unnecessary. I ran a steel pipe along the bottom of the radiator with a right bend onto the outlet, and connect my hose to the other end.

Its totally unvisible, so doesnt hinder looks in any way, solves all the problems and doesnt affect flow at all.
