were there any noticeable gains in cooling capacity? do you recommend this swap or will the stock civic radiator work? was it worth it? would you do it again? thanks in advance.

bump.. im curious too

I'm using a delsol dual core radiator. I noticed a difference.... in the fact that my car doesn't oeverheat during the summertime. I've got a b18c /w pistons and rods, hondata. My coolant temps stay the same as they did with the stock civic one. But, I no longer have a problem with overheating (I used to overheat fairly regularly on hot days).

The problem with these is that they are hard to find... I picked mine up for $50.... but if you can't find one for a good price, I'd talk to earl and get a PWR.

my friend had this in his boosted gsr hatchie. he def needed it cuz he would start to overheat on the highway. after the dual core swap, temps stayed at normal

WEll, your car currently has a single-core now, correct? A dual-core is twice as thick... so if its just like your current civic one, then its a single-core. If the thickness is roughly twice what yours is now, then you're getting the dual-core. Its really easy to tell just by looking at it.

i'm running a del sol dual core on my 98 turbo'd gsr civic and i have no overheating problems. car use to be in phoenix(115 degree weather), and never had any overheating problems there, even with the a/c on. temp stays really consistant, and cool. i'm very happy with mine.

i'm also running a dual core radiator in my LS/turbo hatch and i've noticed that my fan doesn't come on as often as it did before. also, not only did del sol's come with these, look for them in automatic civics as well. go to the local junk yard and find an automatic civic and yank the radiator out.

I second this. I got mine threw them and the service is 2nd to none. I ordered mine at around 4pm on a wednesday and it arrived at around 1pm the NEXT day.
