Default stock civic 1/2 size radiator, cool enough for boost??

how many of you run the stock civic 1/2 size rad with your turbo set-up,
and how good of a job does it do cooling?
also i would be nice if you posted your hp numbers and set-ups,
to see what these rads can handle.
thanks

I plan on making 300 hp with one.

It's done all the time with no problems whatsoever.

boosted b18c 7-8 psi with half sized rad no problems I also run water wetter I think thats what its called its a product (pink in coulor) its supposed to reduce heat and lubricates and conditions the cooling system.

if you run a serious setup good luck fitting anything but a half.

Half is fine, just try and keep exhaust parts away from it if you're running a reg 92-95 single core.

street imports aka Yonaka has some pretty killer prices on ebay for 1/2 size thick core aluminum ones. Very nice units, I've used a couple of them.
