Default b18c swap, cooling concerns

i'm putting a b18c in my 94 cx, does anyone know if the stock radiator will suffice, a buddy of mine got an integra radiator in his, but its full length and i want to keep my a/c, so i don't think that'll work for me, i know the stock rad is pretty small, but 1.8 is still not a big engine, and its all aluminum

go get a fluidine or something it makes your engine bay look cool and they work alot better because most likely u will have to get different radiator hoses and u know the import way once theres a feeling that something isnt going 2 work u better buy the top of the line **** so you know you are a cool racer

My stock single core del sol 's' radiator works just fine for my h22. it's not so much what radiator you have as how good of condition it is in.

your stock radiator will be fine as long as its in good condition.

i have a stock 93 si radiator on a turbo b16 with no heating issues.

if u want extra insurance or just want to spend some money get the dual core and you wil be fine, and chilly with your a/c running
