civic radiator too small for boosted prelude?
I know alot of people use smaller size radiators to free up some room in the engine bay. I got a new civic radiator through a friends shop thats halfsized. I drove the car today and after a couple pulls the temp gauge slowly started to rise. I had to pull over to keep it from reaching max temp on the gauge. Initially i figured the radiator was too small but i know of alot of people who use em, just not on my car.
So is this radiator too small or is there another problem im overlooking that is causing my car to overheat?
Thanks in advance, Johnny.

Thanks in advance, Johnny. </TD></TR></TABLE>I would suggest getting a cheap ebay dual core or bigger . Civic radiators are much thinner and will do the work , but why not upgrade and still save on room.
