are there any place that sells a radiator core that has the same dimensions as the civic half size except with a 3" thick or thicker core. I know people used the traditional radiators with success, but they don't usually sustain driving for long periods of time between 1/4 passes, also occasional autobahn cruises at high speeds. I've searched all over. I want to make my own radiator from a thick core. I've recently tried welding 2 radiator cores together but weren't successful. I already know about the speedfactory and DP ones.
any help is appreciated.

 

My friend and tried to marry 2 radiators but one got damaged on the after we started the process unable to repair due to thin fins. that was a mishimoto and a Koyo radiator, we cut off the tanks welded the core together, and made end tanks to fit this 5" thick combo. something fell on the core and busted them so we had to start from the drawing board. this time I want a 3" core.

 

I've been searching myself also for a core to make a rad with and see treadstone makes some small odd sized cores that maybe usefull

 

I've searched for several hours.

 

if you need a very specific size, look at bell intercoolers, they have HUNDREDS or possibly over a thousand different sizes.

 

Something like this maybe?

that's really small for a radiator, looks like its more for a water to air intercooler, no surface area for air.

 

checking out Bell will give them a call tomorrow.

 

I have the bell core. They have lots of different sizes to choose from. Not cheap though.

 

not cheap for sure. just built my intercooler with one but i had a specific size and shape requirement.

 

what price are we talking about?

 

They have prices on their site for each size cores i believe.

 

Doesn't speedfactory sell a triple core radiator now that is pretty small in size?

 

yes i have one on my car.

 

Ic that bell also offers rad cores also with single dual or tripple pass and can come in any thickness also. maybe a option too

 

Yes they do.
