Default Radiator replacement

I have a 92 Si with a H22A swap in it. Last night the top plastic piece of my radiator seperated from the core and proceded to squirt all my coolant out, so I'm guessing I need a new radiator.

My question is, being that I have the H22A swap I should get one listed for like a 93 vtec model, right?

And also where would be a good place to get one, all the sites I have looked at online either don't have brands listed or are of a brand I don't recognize.

The Honda dealership down the street from me sells aftermakert and stock radiators, b ut the stock is like 450 and the aftermarked is like 270, which both seem way too expensive, so any suggestions?

270 is pretty good actually. you can run a civic half rad.

I'd rather not deal with it. I'd end up doing a poor quality job fabbing the blockoff plate where the other half of the radiator should be, and I'd rather not have to explain that if I ever have to sell the lude

Should be a second fan over there as long as your car as AC. Anyway, I've got an OE radiator I'm selling for cheap

i would go with the 270. The stock h22 rad is a dual core and will supply you with all your cooling needs. there is no need for a bigger one and unless you want to go on ebay and buy an aftermarket on for 100 bucks or a koyo etc for 400 then the 270 is a great buy. especially since its oem
