Dude, you can get the dual core for like 50 bucks. You can sure try to get the Lude radiator in there, but I don't know anyone runnng it.

Wow, talk about uncalled for. Watch it n00b.

Any word on if this fits or not? I know NOTHING about Ludes, but would assume it has the full length radiator like the Teg.

I've seen the radiator from a 95 Prelude, and let me tell you, its BIG. I don't think it would be worth the money to retrofit it.

Yes you can!!, I am running a prelude radiator in an h22 eh3. The two bottom mounts don't line up perfectly but they line up more than well enough. Then you'll need to fab up two mounts for the top(just some low profile "z" shaped plates). there should be nipples on top of the radiator(I have an aftermarket prelude radiator so maybe the stock one doesnt, I dunno), so that the hole in the bracket can slide over. Then just drill a small hole and insert screw on the other side of the bracket. For hoses just get some bulk hose and make it work. If your in doubt set the radiator in place and look at it and you'll see, it's very easy. BTW make sure the brackets don't contact the hood. Also you will HAVE to have a low profile fan, like my FAL....................John, who i guess is the only guy in the world running a prelude radiator in an EH . If you have any questions just e-mail me

But anyway my new rad is all metal so i dont worry bout it now. Just have him keep an eye out for a hairline fracture right below the zip tie..................John
