Dual core radiator, more cooling capacity?????
I was thinking about swapping out my stock radiator for a dual core one off an integra, would this radiator provide more cooling capacity than my stock one? I plan on puttin in a turbo later on, would installing this radiator give me more room to work with?

depends on the brand.. the koyo and fluidyne drop in but the koyo takes some creativity with the fans.. stock ones work

I put a teg rad in my first gen. came from a 96 RS I believe. I had the plastic one in there, but it had a blockage, so I bought a brand new one, and yes it does cool waaaaaay better. my car runs right on the "C" line and doesnt get very hot in traffic. The mounts are custom, it wasnt drop in, but it works good.

Re: Dual core radiator, more cooling capacity????? (HondaCRX)
i was asking because i own a 91 crx and i was gonna turbo charge plus i wanted to run a cooler engine(who doesnt) the dual core radiator only takes up half of the space the regular stock rad. takes since it is basically half of one just doubled in size(if that makes sense). and it being half the size it can open up some space where the turbo would sit i know it would actually take up more room but if the turbo is positioned towards the drivers side then it would clear the radiator. unlike the stock one it would probably hit it.
would the dual core cool a 2nd generation crx better too?
