1. Have to, no.... should, Yes! I just finished my swap (about 200 kms ago) and will be upgrading to a new rad shortly. You may also want to invest in an oil cooler.
2. I would try any jdm engine company... or ebay
3. I would try sourcing out the parts. Classifieds, friends, people on the forum, ebay etc. Shouldnt be too tough to find what ya need
4. If you do that dont leave it like that... please! Get a full exhaust with a DP and you will thank yourself later.
Are you getting parts for your swap now? What do already got? what performance mods are done to your car already? The amount you spend on your sr20 swap really depends on what you want out of it in my opinion. There are lots of things you don't 'have' to do but should be if you are planning on getting the most out of your swap.
Tip: Budget a lot more than you have for your sr20 swap. It costs more than you think
