Radiator

Anyone know who makes a good aftermarket radiator? My car almost ate it on the Pasadina freeway, and again in the mess that was the front gate at D1. I made an instantaneous decision that I need a new radiator. Other option: can I swap in an FC Turbo II or FD radiator?

Only reason I say its the radiator is because I've changed out all the cheap stuff. Plus I've had a couple of experts tell me that the radiators on rotaries are seldom, if ever, the proper size for the amount of heat they put out.
