As far as cooling goes, get rid the the stock plastic AST first, then upgrade to a Koyo or Fluidyne radiator. This topic has been gone over many times before. Do a search.

Getting a hold JDM stuff probably isn't very easy, on top of that, can you read Japanese? Go with a 1995 US manual, it's in English and the cars should be similar other than RHD.

Clean the engine bay with normal degreasers.

60% distilled water 40% coolant
Do the mod to control your fans manualy. I keep mine on all the time. Get a temp gauge, the stock one is more like a "add engine light"

Cleaning .....Simple green works good on the engine, for tuff stains denatured alcohol.

Phaz,
Welcome to the forum. It's good that your thinking about cooling mods rather than "how much more HP can I get with this?". But there is a ton of information in the "FAQ Stickys" at the top of this section.....and a free FACTORY SERVICE MANUAL download. Read through everything, including the other sites that are linked to. LOTS of information. Good luck.
BTW, that's not a boost contoller. Its a "turbo timer".
