Default Simple radiator question

Simple question guys. SFWD Civic, running half-size radiator obviously... Who makes a half-size radiator for 92-95's that have a 1 1/4 inch inlet/outlet?

Most I have seen are 1 1/8, which is Civic radiator hose sizing. I want a nice and tight connection, so it must be 1 1/4. Anyone?

Koyo makes one designed for a Bseries in a civic, with larger outlets.

chepeast method would be cut and weld it to your specs but getting koyo is alot more than the cheaper ones on the market.

Lou I would recommend KOYO, I've used fluidyne and pwr before. Koyo keeps my car a lot cooler than others.

KOYO's are also thicker (in depth) over the Fluidynes, PWRs, etc... Leaving less room for fan/DP fitment.

We run a PWR and the hoses fit tight, i think i remember hearing that PWR offers both the small inlet/outlet and the bigger one.

They only make it for the b series inlet/outlets. My STOCK single cam daily driver has a pwr radiator and its a stretch to get the hose on the radiator...but it can be done.

Luis, run a stock 99-00 Civic SI they have the bigger outlets if you want to save money.

I ordered a PWR so the outlets are already the larger of the two
