Default Question about fluidyne radiator......

I am looking to custom fit a radiator in my car and was wondering how well the fluidyne radiator for the 98 civic would cool a 1.9 liter motor. I need space and the radiator is nice and compact but I was wondering how well it would work on a boosted 1.9 liter motor (daily driven)
This is the radiator

Thanks......

forgot to say that the custom app was on a saturn.....the stock radiator sucks ass on a boosted motor and I was looking for a nice compact radiator that would have enough cooling capacity to use on my car. Any other suggestions? Is that a bad radiator

i'm afraid i have to disagree with everyone saying a stock radiator is sufficient on a forced induction motor. honda, and even saturn, design their motors to run at a specific temperature and the radiator has capabilities that are specific to the motor as it comes from the factory.

The fluidyne is a very good radiator. If you think you might have cooling problems with your setup then definitely get it. Better safe than sorry.
