Default D16 Radiator on a GSR

I am putting a GSR into my 95 civic and i want to know if the radiator from a d16 (which was originaly in the car) will work to keep that motor cool enough or will i have to get a different one?

Yea you should be fine, I am useing my stock radiator (92 civic cx) on my Jdm b18c type r swap, and it stays perfect. I have even heard of people useing stock radiators with h22 swaps with out any problems. It also might depend on where you live.

CX radiator is half-size single core, no? If you're ok in WA, I would say the other guy would be fine in WI as well. I run my stock half-size dual core (EX) radiator with my GSR swap and it's fine. NJ gets a little hot sometimes and I've had no issues

You will be fine. When I had my B18c in my EJ I was still using the stock radiator. Like others have said, you can get a lower temp thermo or even find a cheaper aftermarket radiator with a larger core/tank. I know RCautoworks has some 1/2 size EG/EK radiators that they use on their DOHC-T motor and it works just fine
