Default prelude radiator options???

Does anyone know how a civic sized radiator will fit in prelude? do any of the holding brackets line up? and no i'm not worried about the cooling effect of it just the fitment.

Too small, you would have better chances with an Accord radiator I would have thought.

You will probably have to do custom brackets if you want to use the civic rad.

radiators are cheap, just call up somebody like 1800radiators or something for a koyo replacement

I've been wanting to use a civic dual core radiator to free up some space for future turbo use.
I also want to get a condensor for a/c thats the same dimesion as stock, except for about 3-4" shorter.......

You should definitelly go with a Fluidyne or a Koyo. I have a Fluidyne and love it. Fits right in except for one of the fan's wiring harnesses. It is a little on the pricey side but i garantee you that it will be the last radiator you will ever have to buy.

Wow... I was just thinking about this and if it could do the job of cooling an H22. With a nice dual core you think it could sustain daily driving?

But I'm sure with a little welding you could fab up a mount easy for it.
