so i got me a DAP ek hatch and the previous guy must have squeezed an integra radiator or some universal one. but now i need to make room for a fan shroud and use that smaller mishimoto radiator im planning on ordering it from passwordjdm.com with an electric fan shroud kit and radiator stay and electric fan mounting kit as well as mishimoto silicone hoses.
is there anything im missing besides coolant ??

i forgot to say its a stock d series single cam.

You may want to get some new hoses and clamps. Try to pick up some OEM hoses as the tend to fit better. Other than that, you should have everything.

thanks hose clamps do work better then those hardware store screw clamps..
im also wondering whats your take on blackworks radiators kit they have it on jhpusa.com its way cheaper then mishimoto i was looking at spending 800+ at passwordjdm.com but i think mishimoto has to be the better pick of the two or does anyone know anyother good radiators?

Considering it is a stock D series single cam, go with local auto part's store brand. If that is not an option then I would go with Koyo.

just go get a auto parts store one, there is no need to spend that kind of money on a rad like that for a stock d series,
i paid 100 for mine, with life time warranty.

I paid $80 for mine from advance auto, its just a radiator

bombero17

yeah i see what you guys mean a radiator isnt the place to drop 800 on i just want a good slim rad so when i sqeeze a b series i wont have to get a new radiator i plan on buying this one

good deal tell me what you guys think? just a couple bucks more and i get a fan and aluminum radiator

its looks good to me, but you dont really need a slim fan for a b swap.
you can saftley run a b series on a single can rad, tons of people do it. you just have to get the rad hose on really good, becuase its made for a dual core rad.

Even tho u don't need a bad *** radiator or anything.. it still looks better than a checker special radiator. I have a blackworks radiator and like u said they are a really good price for a aluminum radiator and its pretty much mishimoto radiator but isn't nearly the price.

looks like an ok radiator to me, but I really see no point on a stock single cam either.

I'm still running a B18C1 on an OEM single cam radiator, and it runs at 175-180 degrees all day. If it's 100 degrees outside and I'm stuck in traffic with the AC on, it'll fluctuate between 190-206 as the fan kicks off and on, but that's 100% within normal hot weather operating temps.... a D series would run exactly the same under the same conditions. And I'm not guessing at temps here, I'm running a digital temp gauge and logger.

Also didn't have any problem fitting the B series in with the stock D series radiator.

Basically, I'm saying there's really no reason to replace your radiator until it leaks or becomes inadequate for what you're doing. I'm not necessarily suggesting that it's optimal to run a B18 on a D-series radiator, I'm just saying that I've had zero problems with heat or clearance.
