Radiator question

In the process of doing my swap I came a little short of money temporarily. I was wondering if there is a replacement radiator with increased cooling capacity that I could swap in there temporarily? The factory radiator needs to be replaced and I want something a little better than a factory but can't afford a koyo or fluidyne. I need to get this car running and I will replace with a newer higher capacity radiator within a few months. I was thinking a v8 radiator or a newer 240sx or something. Please help I am almost done!

Koyo sells a Copper radiator that's $199 on Enjuku. Looks pretty good.

Factory radiator is old and got lots of corrosion in it. Will the copper radiator cool as well as the aluminum? I am not worried about weight differences. Just protecting my investment, till I can buy all the safeguards for the engine.

As long as you keep an eye on your temp and your using some sort of fan you'll be ok. Wether if its copper or aluminum.

the koyo copper radiator is nothing like the koyo aluminum...the copper is the SAME dimensions as stock, and has the stock-like plastic end tanks. I emailed enjuku racing and they told me it was the exact same in dimensions and build as the aluminum (this was important, because the plastic endtank upper rad hose nipple thing is what gave out on my old radiator), so as you can imagine, I pretty much **** a brick when I got my radiator in the mail.
