like the title states..... will it fit in place of my oem radiator+ condensor????
im yanking my a/c crap out. and i guess i need a better radiator, but dont have the $$$ for a good one. so if it works, ill settle for a bigger GSR one.

TIA!

it works idk what you have to do to the bottom mounts but a few guys around here have them in there hatches, no prob

it works... you need to drill out the spot welds and reweld the mount where it works.

Buy either an automatic version 92-95 Civic radiator, or a Del Sol VTEC (one with stock B16A3/2) radiator - they bolt in and are twice as thick as a stock 92-95 Civic 5-speed radiator.

It doesn't take much more effort to drop an Integra radiator in, but you lose A/C because it takes up the space where the A/C condensor should be:



Drill out the welds on the bottom mounts, place the radiator in place and mark where the mounts need to be relocated and welded into the cross member, then fab up an upper mount and bolt it to the top of the core support as pictured above.



BTW my radiator pictured above came from http://www.radiatorbarn.com and it was only like $115.00 shipped.

***DISCLAIMER***

You'll also need the Integra main cooling fan and shroud assembly, because the Civic one won't fit the Integra radiator. You should be able to grab the whole assembly from a salvage yard for under $75.00 or so.

i think im going with the civic auto or the del sol one.
maybe if i had a few more tools i would try the teg one. but me and the wife just bought a lot more expensive house.... so you know where my extra cash is going to go to...blah.

You own a home - you're already better off than 85% of this message board, myself included. I rent a home with my wife. My mom owns the home so we're renting for $500.00/month for three bedroom with garage, etc. so it's cool for now.

Gee own a home, or have a cool part to brag about in a Honda Civic?

Easy choice.
