Default need radiator help!!

hey ive got a 92 rs integra with a turbo b16 and i have problems on really hot days where the temp will start to rise above the halfway mark. As soon as i turn on the heat the temp will drop back down.

i know i need an aluminum radiator but there is no room. I think the fluidyne for a delsol would work but i dont know if that is a good idea because of it being half as wide.

i have 2 thin fans on the stock radiator now. Any help would be great.

CHRIS

here is a pic of my setup now.

this might not be the answer your looking for but......when was the last time you replaced your coolant? Have you replaced the thermostat? Is your fan turning on? Whats the CFM rating on the fans?(if they are thin and small they could be weaker than stock)

I dont think you should be overheating unless one of those things are the problem or your constantly boosting with you AC on or something.

Hope that helps a little.

it's not normal for your car to overheat just because of the turbo install. i run a delsol vtec radiator in my integra & don't overheat. check to make sure that your fan relay is working, your themostat is opening, your headgasket isn't blown, coolant is full, etc...
