Honda radiator need help finding units

Ok so my evo radiator blew up on a dyno. So I need to get a new one and looking at going with the Honda dual core ones I saw on here. What I need is the ones people are running with no problems. Current power is 385/402 wheel numbers. So I am asking who's running them with these number that don't over heat so I know which ones to get.

Also how easy is the install thanks guys just don't have time to read since my cars down and I'm at work..... Any help would be great

I would still recommend a stock Evo radiator over the half size honda radiators.

With those kind of numbers you're still on stock turbo, no reason to run a half unless you need the clearance to go with a WAY bigger snail or front-facing setup. The latter is straight retarded on a street car and the former is probably not something you're considering for a while at your current numbers.

In the end, it's likely not worth it for you.

if your car is a daily driver i would recommend staying with a full size rad over a half. mishimoto makes a pretty good full size rad for a decent price

It wasnt the head gasket thats fine no oil and everything fine. My tuner changed the water pump so only thing I can think is air was in the system.... But he forgot it was on a evo 9 turbo so I am a little perplexed as to why that would cause the radiator to go? He has the data log to show when it blew its highest coolant temp was 188? So I'm drawing a blank. If it happens again I will hold him accountable but as of now I'm writing it off as a fluke... Hopefully a new radiator fixes it and I can wash my hands of the bad event....
