Default radiator question

I got my integra and I need a new radiator and fan. I was looking at the fluidyne or koyo radiators. Now for the question I want the half size one with the FAL fan. So I would just need the civic half size radiator and the fal fan for the civic radiator, right? TIA

you want to get the vtec radiator out of the del sol. this radiator is a dual core and allows it to cool in your integra well. i run this radiator. check out radiatorbarn.com, that is where i purchased my radiator. cost 90 bucks or so and got to my house in like 2 days. i was very pleased. as for the slim fan, any 12in slim fan will work. there are a couple people on honda-tech that sell them for around 60bucks i believe. this should get you what you are looking for.

get one that is an exact replacement for the del sol vtec radiator.

why dont you just go with the oem one. it cools fine and is much less expensive

Your gonna need a delsol 2 core radiator no matter if it's stock or the koyo or whatever radiator you get. Make sure it's the delsol SI vtec and your set. I had a long radiator in my civic for 2 years and just went turbo and did the same thing......Except I went with a Autozone factory replacement with Lifetime warranty and added some water wetter. You can't complain about $90 and having lifetime warranty and the Redline water wetter is working pretty good also. Mine has never got hot at all with my setup. GL on your decision

Maybe on the aftermarket radiators there all the same size core except the length is longer on some....Just call up the places where your looking at buying from and ask.....
