So my radiator went haywire on me and so now I need a new one... fluid everywhere... great... I think I am going to go with a Koyo or fluidine radiator... Question is what kind of style do I get? Showa or Denso?

 

If you ever plan on getting a turbo setup, get a civic or del sol radiator. Allows more room for the snail to fit. Other than that, I have no advice...

 

what would I have to do to get the civic rad to fit? and would it cool as well? and what about the fan?

 

my radiator is about to crap out on me too...i think i'm just gonna find an OE style replacement because i don't really want to spend the money for a Fluidyne. you should be able to figure out which style you have by looking at your current one. i'm sure it's printed on there somewhere.

 

You can pick up a slim fan to mount fairly cheap. As for the cooling ability, I think it would be as good as stock. Many turbocharged integras run civic radiators, and don't have any cooling issues.

As far as mounting goes, I believe you can just move the OEM bracket over and it will work just fine. The civic radiator is half the width of an integra's, this allows extra room in front of your exhaust manifold.

I'm not sure on the price difference, it might be cheaper to go with a standard integra radiator. I was just throwing this out incase you ever planned on going F.I.

 

im having the same f**king prob...but my ls/vtec is turboed...i installed a civic radiator but the car still over heats only when its 65 degrees and up...but when its like 50 outside its straight...i would suggest taking the seal behind your hood off that helped me out alittle...but yeah if anybody else has some suggestions about my prob besides getting a new radiator then please let me know

 

Mishimoto radiator's for the win you newbs, do I have to show you everything. If you got skills you can get one for around $200.

 

where would the seal be tht it would leak at? The warranty will cover tht... if its not on a seal it wont...

 

Make sure the Civic radiator is the dual core one like the one on the Del Sol VTEC, then you shouldn't worry about the heat issue.

 

if u are going to get a half core, as other stated make sure is double core, and get the Del sol radiator, the civic one dosen't fit correctly as far as hoses go
