For those of you guys running turbo H22's in your civic, do you have any cooling issues? Are you guys on the stock rad or did you upgrade to an aftermarket piece? If so, which one? Any thermostat or rad cap modifications? Water wetter or any addidtives in the coolent?

I havent had in problems, im on the stock radiator too...
I think its the 2 core one.
I was getting hot in traffic after like 10 mins when i didnt have fan on it, but other than that no problems

Wo-Nelly

when you say stock rad, is that the half rad like teh one found on teh 99-2k civic si? Or the full length one?

i had to get a new radiator made, ended up being a 3core, only 12inchs wide but it does totally fine

Wo-Nelly

what brand and how thick was it?

Alstare

I got the half rad, but dual core by koyo.. so basiclly stock rad... Works fine...

Wo-Nelly

was that a all aluminum koyo rad? or the aluminum core with plastic tanks?

Alstare

aluminum core, plastic tanks...

hmm I'm still not sure what to get... For 1 thing I'm in tx and +90 degree summers are not uncommon. And getting stuck in rush hour's stop and go traffic can cause a lot of strain. on the cooling system. out of the fluidyne, pwr, koyo (all aluminum one) and C7r, which ones are 2 row? 3 row?

b16hybridsol

mines a 3 row, custom made by a local shop plus a thin puller fan, everything else is stock

What turbo manifold did you use?

b16hybridsol

f-max i think, its a cast mani that has the turbo flange pointing to the front of the car

Wo-Nelly

do you have any problems idling for long periods of time? I know that as long as your moving you'll be fine, but I'm worried about the 100 degree summers of texas and rush hour stop and go

b16hybridsol

no problems so far
