I found a great deal on a good condition C&R racing lightweight aluminum radiator..... The car its coming out of is a 92 civic eg hatch, and was not using a fan, just the radiator... I also saw a car in the recent Honda Tuning" magazine with the same radiator..they weren't using a fan either....


My question is, Do I need a fan to use this radiator? I'm pretty sure that my stock fan won't bolt up to this one..

The car is my daily driver

Thanks a lot guys!

you need a fan.. get a slim electric fan

yes you absolutely need a fan. without one you will overheat when sitting still.

most aftermarket rads have provisions to bolt up the stock fan. unless is a custom rad or something.

the car you saw in the magazine mostly likely had a "pusher" fan mounted to the front of the radiator. hidden under the bumper. you can also get an aftermarket fan if for any reason your oem doesnt fit.
