Default JDM B18C Swap

Can anything tell if I have to upgrade me Radiator for my B18C swap?

Is the stock Radiator from D15B7 be effecient enough?

I'm in Cali and it does get pretty warm here.

it should be sufficient...if you dont think it is or it gets hotter after your swap...change it out for a dual core del sol radiator or if you want to pay a lil extra for it, an aluminum raditor

Just get the Integra Radiators...little bigger than the del sol radiator. Works as good if not better...There was a thread a while back that had the DIY for it

he could do that but he wants to keep AC...swapping for the integra radiator would require taking out AC

Your OEM radiator will be just fine. I ran it for over a year on my B18C1 swap and didn't ever have a single cooling problem. I did go with a dual core eventually because I had to remove my A/C to fit my turbo in. h:

I had massive cooling issues with my b16a with the stock d15b7 radiator...I ripped out my A/C so I went with a modified integra radiator....purrrrs like a kitten now, and never even touches the middle point on the gauge even drivin the piss out of it.....(thanks josh)
