Default Half core radiator?

Ok well i have an aftermarket full core radiator in my 4th gen lude with h22. Im in the process of turboing it but my turbo hits the radiator. My question is will a Half Core radiator work for it? # people i know had h22s in eg and ek hatch backs and the ran fine with half cores. I tried searching but couldnt find anything....or maybe i just suck at searching...oh well. thanks

I have a 92 prelude. I removed my stock radiator. I purchases a dual core , half sized civic radiator... Fits great and I have room for turbo. I also removed my front motor mount for turbo clearance.

On the radiator i redrilled holes for the fan and it mounts up nice. Only thing is I dont use one of the rear radiator mounts on the bottom. Just did this mod so ask me questions

The 484whp 4th gen I did 2 weeks ago was running a half-core civic style radiator and it worked perfectly with the set-up.

If anyone needs a 1/2 style feel free to PM me... I have several brands in stock
