Stock radiator how good is it?

I wanted info on when is it time to upgrade to a different radiator? Is it worth the expense? Or is the calsonic stock unit good enough. Thank you for your help.

it's good... actually i haven't heard of anyone having problems cooling down their horsepower made on 4g63 evos viiis. mostly people swap 'em out cuz it's not too much money for a lot more peace of mind. supras and rx7s on the other hand are notorious for inability to cool large hp numbers, especially at the track

I destroyed my radiator with my knuckles trying to get the heatshield off my manifold ::curse::

calsonic is pretty good from what i've heard, they have a blue skyline :P

put in a temperature probe at the radiator outlet hose(or that elbow that goes into the engine near the valve cover) and measure the temps while you're driving. if the temps start going up as you push the car(say at a track or some canyon roads), you've got ur answer. if they stay relatively consistent...you're radiator is doing a well enough job. g'luck an' enjoy
