Re: Half radiator vs full size radiator
Shameless plug, I am parting out my setup now and have a nearly brand new Koyo half radiator with T1 Shroud and SPAL fan. This is the ideal setup in my opinion. Less than 500 miles on this setup.

Re: Half radiator vs full size radiator
Same here, I had all the above, and the Koyo ended up being the best. When I had the Integra USDM front-end, we fall into the same boat as the EG Civic guys with no front grill. Fans are as equally important as the radiator itself.
Seems like the Koyo has a really good core, and can shed a lot of heat with limited space. However, you must have a good fan on the Koyo, probably due to its denser fins.
I had a full size Fluidyne before, and due to packaging and my turbo setup, there was too little space behind the core. It ran hotter than a proper half-size Fluidyne equivalent (same core, half the size) when I switched over.
