does the intercooler from the turbo, interfere the air flow to the radiator? |

Yep. That's why so many cars have top-mounts, or sideways V configurations. Basically you are simultaniously restricting airflow to the rad and heating it. |

BULLSHIT, I'm still running the stock half radiator, no overheating here, and I'm in Tejas to boot  |

He said it pushes the limits, not that you are guaranteed to overheat with a FMIC and stock Civic rad. Bring your Civic to an autox or road race event and I'll guarantee you that you'll overheat. |

You also have low humidity there, Dwight. I'm going to see how long I can go with the stock rad, but any decent amount of distance it'll probably get the gauge high. It might be ok too. Who knows. |

Considering your investment in turbo hardware and the engine, a koyo (or other brand) is relatively cheap insurance, IMO. I might also recommend an oil cooler. |

I'm going to eventually get a Fluidyne. Just to make sure that I do run cool. Just until then I'll see how the stocker works. Might get a new rad sooner than I think |

I have most of my setup bought already. I'm shooting for May to have it on and tuned. |
