Default Radiators

My radiator is on its last legs, I am thinking i might as well upgrade it to one that will withstand the extra cooling for my planned engine to a N/A 200+whp street lude.

KOYO has been suggested any ideas ? Or will the stock prelude radiator hold up ok if i replace with OEM ????

OEM is just fine. Don't waste money on "upgrading" a radiator. If it is a street car...OEM Iis PERFECTLY fine. They have lifetime warrantys too.

Yeah and make sure you get the right one. Don't be a dumbass like me and get an S radiator for your VTEC and have to getto rig your fans on because the bolt up points don't match.

The OEM radiators have lifetime warranty? Where did you read that? Is it only if you're the original owner?

Oops, I should have said that the new radiator that you buy will have a lifetime warranty....not the one that is currently in your car.

I bought my new one for $119 shipped to me. If you need to know where to buy it from let me know.

Hey AndyD what did you ever do with that extra radiator?
And which one are you going to recommend - teamradiator or radiatorexpress? Seems like the second one you got had a better customer service department for returns.

SKDRCR, maybe if you read a little bit closer then things would make more sense. Also, take into considering it requires reading more than one post in a thread.
