Default H22 into 88 EF

I am doing a H22 into a 88 CRX hf swap and i dont know which radiator to use. I am 95% done with this project and this is the only thing keeping me from finishing my project. I have thought about going with the half sized civic radiator, but i also heard that a radiator from a 90-93 integra will work also. So if anyone has done this swap or knows where i can find more info on this topic please reply!

I have used my stock HF non AC 3/4 length OEM radiator with my H22 Crx and has been my daily for quite sometime and has seen plenty of Friday Seattle Traffic... never once overheated but I do have a aftermarket slim fan that sell on HT which puts out more air then the stock unit...

i'm using a 92-95 radiator. much better as the clearance is excellent. using an old place racing crossmember which is fitted for the half size radiator. I'm pretty sure innovative's crossmember comes with the mounts for the 92-95 radiator... which one do you have?

i used one of the slimfans from Autozone. i think theres someone on here selling them for a pretty good deal. mine is actually mounted on the front side of the radiator (bumper cover side) and blows in. the clearance is great with it mounted like that.

Here's the link

Hey another ? what about the crx master cylinder and power booster, should i upgrade to the Integra or stick with stock crx parts. I would just do it but a new booster for an Integra is almost $500.

stick with oem.. buy good pads and call it a day. I went almost 140mph with my crx didn't have any issues stopping with the stock booster and upgraded pads.

I'm using a 92-95 rad with a Flexalite fan. works great and never had a heating issue - and I have a turbo under the hood.

A half size aluminum rad cools more than a full size metal rad.
