I used a $79 ebay radiator aluminum,

and a $65 set of Altima fans (95 iirc) new from ebay

IMO upgrade fans to altima first. Tight fit but I managed with turbo LS, so.

IF this didn't work for me (and it does, very well indeed) my next 'upgrade' would be:
1. griffin radiator custom fit as large as possible to my space available

and if that still had troubles its obviously the fan again
2. upgrade to better fans/ventilation

FWIW I am using OEM hood. Fully insulated downpipe. Lots of heat in the engine bay. Radiator stays 165-175*F no problem though. Its those altima fans, they are huge and very powerful, I believe it.
