Default Radiator

My radiator is leaking. Are Honda radiators generally repairable or do i have to get another. Will other Honda radiators work with the H23. What about Civic and Accord radiators, will the fit/work in my car?

are you just looking for a joe schmoe radiator?
if so, i would just get an aftermarket radiator (try 1-800-radiator)
i don't know if their business is local around you.

if you are looking for a performance radiator, c&r makes one for the
92-96 lude and i believe you can use a gsr fluidyne radiator also

you can but one of the mounts is different and you just have to weld on a small nub on the bottom...I saw it done on an h23 honda challenge car and that's what the guy told me anyway, but it was a type R fluidyne...I don't know if they're different.


I'm just gonna keep quoting you SKDRCR..

You only a high performance radiator if you are pushing serious power, right? My enigine is stock except for a couple of bolt ons. How are the lifetime warranties that a lot of manufacturers like Radiator Express offer?

Yea... I modified the whole radiator core support due to clearance issues with the compressor housing of the turbo. Who needs a upper support anyways... I do have brackets for the top that are not shown in the picture above.

The blue hose is actually a Spoon hose. jk, I woudln't put anthing Spoon on my car.

It is a basic silicone hose I purchased at a local gasket shop. The manifold and turbo gets hot and I originally had heat wrap over the OEM tube but the silicone hose works out a lot better. Kinda ricey with the blue... but function over fashion. Plus it matches the earl's fittings
