so i'm searching for a 2000 civic si radiator and it's the same part number as a 2000 civic dx..

im curious as to why this is because i know that the b series is different

Many of your local parts stores will have the same part number for all civics from '92-00... which means that all will have the smaller inlet and outlets for the SOHC sized upper and lower radiator hoses. If you are lucky, there will be a pair of rubber inlet adapters... essentially a thin sleeve of radiator hose for each of the inlet and outlet tubes on the radiator. You would slip these over the necks first and then install your larger inner diameter "B" series radiator hoses. If the radiator doesn't come with them... don't buy it. I suggest you get a proper sized radiator and skip the local auto parts store stuff.

and where would i get a proper sized radiator oem replacement

Not sure what prices you're looking at but personally I'd go for this:

GO-AUTOWORKS Civic/Integra Aluminum Radiators B16 B18 B20 Civic Integra CRX CRV

Go-Auto makes stout, great products. This would not only fit perfect and be an easy swap-in for you, not having to deal with adapters or any shoddy build quality or guess-work, but the full aluminum construction would definitely be a nice upgrade over OEM. Would look a lot better in the bay and perform better.

Just my .02

Then buy oem one.

here is one I found listed for 95 del sol dohc, the difference is that the inlets are 1 1/4 for b series and 1 1/8 for d series I believe.

More Information for OSC 1570

I have never used the above radiator but I believe it has the specs you are looking for, there used to be either a denso or koyo factory style that people were using with the 1.25 inlet outlets but I couldn't find it.

yea i find it strange that the em1 rad is the same as the d series i thought it was dual core?

I got this one for my b16a in my 93 hatch and it had the larger inlets for the b series hoses

Citation needed but I'm pretty sure all half-rads from Honda EF -> EK were single core.

Hence once again why I'd just recommend a cheap, inarguable upgrade with 0 guess work, but it's up to you obviously.

eddie7978

i thought the b16 is dual core 99-00 si

eddie7978

many i'll just go with skunk2 koyo or mishimoto any opinions on these

Except for the civics that had a b-series. Keep that in mind.

Chance EG

Any of those brands are fine and will perform well. The Go-Autoworks is a fair bit cheaper though and will also perform just as good as anything else. Any of the listed brands will be great though.

Ah, that's why I said citation needed. I thought even the B16 Civics still had single cores, never owned one of those from the factory though.

eddie7978

is it possible to use the factory reservoir and mounting location with an aluminum radiator?

Chance EG

Yes to both, most people do.

Edit: And in case you were wondering, yes your OEM hoses should work as well.

You can get the Honda 99-00 Si one on Amazon for $225 shipped... 19010-P2T-A01 is dual core with larger hose headers.



Koyorad also makes a knockoff of the EG version for the Del Sol VTEC (B16) for about $100... Koyorad 19010 P30 G03

OP forget about the parts store junk get on rockauto.com and order one. I swear it will be 30 or 40 percent cheaper than a parts store
