The Auto EX/Del Sol OEM Dual Core radiator. I'd be more than willing to bet you can't overheat your car with one of these.

get a dual core unless you need room for a turbo, then get an ebay single core. either way, best and inexpensive shouldnt be used together.... it's misleading.

Are you not understanding what we're saying here. A Fluidyne radiator is a huge waste of money. Best bang for the buck is the dual core Del Sol/Automatic EX radiator.

Are you just looking for a stock replacement or are you looking for a bigger radiator?

Goddamnit, I swear....
Some people just don't listen. Why would you need a performance radiator? Because your having problems with overheating based on the radiator. Why would you be willing to pay 300+ dollars for a bling peice like a Fluidyne radiator when the one that I've already told you was the best for the money (which is less than 100 dollars by the way) will be more than enough cooling.

How much does a NEW dual core Del Sol radiator cost?? I know they aren't cheap and do they still use the plastic caps on the top and bottom?

It's a radiator. A case with some endtanks and fins. Radiatorbarn or something like that sells them on Ebay all day long. These are OEM replacements. However, I'm not willing to pay whatever outrageous prices Honda is asking, so I look to these.

Re: (vti444)
You think those ones off ebay are better than OEM, think again! I've seen my fair share of cheap radiators and I can tell you they are going to look like straight **** in a year or two. Good luck though.

Unceasing Measure
Re: (Turbo E 604)
My buddy has a built, 12.7 : 1 CR JDM B18C in his EG. He made the mistake of dropping $360 on a Fluidyne radiator. I only say mistake because the car usually won't heat up for thirty or forty minutes because the radiator is that good at shedding heat. Outstanding radiator, but more problems than it's worth.
