Yeah you're a ricer but we been running half size aluminum radiators on b series turbo with 3 n 4 inch down pipe close to it and water lines for tubo with no issues. About 100 million people run these on their b series so you will be fine. Lol 6et a good fan is the othe thing I'll add

I would suggest getting a dual core half stack so you aren't sacrificing coolant capacity. That coupled with a good fan and you will be set.

Ive seen swapped and boosted cars with D series radiators lol. I had my car in VTEC for like 10 minutes straight road racing with a stock radiator and had no problems. I have since then switched to a Mishimoto dual core half sized for looks and extra cooling capacity. I figured why not have a little more security.
