ok, fluidines are the correst size for the car. if its a del sol radiator itll be 14 inches wide, or whatever it is. if you order an integra radiator, itll be twice as wide, and you could no longer a/c. any 92-95 civic radiator will fit. i believe that the Vtec radiator is actually better, cauise its dual core, and twice as thick, and yes, itll fit as well.

Yes, dual core Del Sol VTEC will fit and would be better cooling wise. The Fluidyne is half sized as is the Civic one if you get it for a Civic and full size if you get it for an Integra.

Definitley go w/ the VTEC sol radiator-it does have a thicker core and
makes you think about actually havin a DOHC Vtec part in ur car! Id replace
the hoses while u were at it NEway. The integra rad-a nono....
and the 92-5 civics are a nice fit as well. My $.02-worth half that.

i think i'd get the vtec.... i'm planning to do a swap sometime (as i have said many a times) 9_9 but also with hoses.... would the hoses work on a b-series as it does with the d? i thought theyed be different.... unless i'm mistaken. cause the hoses look old anyways.

Is the del sol vtec dual core going to directly bolt up to a EG hb with a B16? thanks.....

del sol vtec has a b16 engine the si came with the d16 if that was what you were wondering. the del sol vtec radiator will work fine. i even think you retain the vtec hoses and it fits properly.

if you use the vtec radiator, the inlets would be too big.
