Ok, I searched, and saw a BIG OLE thread about the 200SX getting a Fluidyne for there DET swap. But... I have a '92 Sentra SE-R with a BB DET swap. I'm pretty much running just stock, but to me, I'd rather keep my cool before I start pushin' the hp through the motor. Thanks for the help!

Are you wanting to know what choices you have in radiators?

In order of cooling ability:

stock SE-R radiator
NX2000 radiator
Nissan motorsports rad. <- not much better than NX
KOYO all-aluminum radiator - bad-ass and drops right in. 55mm thick! although it has smaller 1.6l-sized inlet/outlet, but no big deal
Custom Fluidyne

KOYO also makes an OEM style NX radiator that is cheaper than from Nissan. Alternately, you can measure and order a big Griffen circle-track radiator from Summit for cheap. They work well.

The fluidynes are available in many styles, but the really good ones are very expensive (600+). There is no drop-in app for the se-r, so any fluidyne you get will be a custom job.

*Edit* Look at the second radiator on that page, they only list that for the NX, no other B13 chassie or B14. Its a Copper and Brass with metal end tank radiator twice as thick as the NX2000 radiator, and the cost only being $120??!?! Madness.....thats the radiator I will get, it bolts right up, stock location and everything, sotck brackets. *Edit done*

I'm running a bbdet in my sentra.... tmic, and ONE fan... on a couple of occasions the temp gauge went a little to the right:eek:(nothing happened) but other than that no major problems with my stock radiator....we'll see what my temps are when I get my CMX:cool: Just throw in some distilled water and water wetter and you'll be fine, but to upgrade to a better radiator is always good, it's just expensive.
