I am so close to my supercharger and now this ****.... WTF! Its cold out so i notice steam coming from under my engine, I look under and find coolant leakin from the top of my radiator. The funny thing is that I had a dream this happened, in my dream i open my hood and coolant is everywhere just like today.... No ****. Please someone help me.....

 

You around 80K miles?

If you are this is common in integras.

 

65k, how much will it cost to fix???

 

You could just buy a radiator and do it yourself. Very easy to do.

Cost maybe $100 for the radiator? Not too sure since I haven't priced them recently.

 

This same thing happened to my 99 gsr when it hit 40k. I was kind of pist off because i had just replaced the engine and then the radiator. Well i bought a brand new radiator from auto zone for 250.00 , it has life time warranty .

 

my 97 gsr is on its 3rd radiator.
i have 104k miles on it.
get use to it i guess

i also bought the last one from autozone for $169.99 with lifetime warranty.

 

Its a problem integra's have but you can pick one up at radiatorfarm.com or farmradiator.com, it should be $123.00 for one. To install it your self, its easy.

 

mine came from Kragen, $100 or so. the whole upper outlet cracked off. you can't just replace the tanks on these things. if you don't want to go through this again, go to a radiator shop and have them build one that will last. and if necessary, the tanks could be replaced because they are METAL. who ever decided that plastic was ok?

 

the shitty plastic OEM radiators are a common problem on G3 tegs man..no worries... crack in the top right? happened to me bout 12k or so ago.. i went onto http://www.radiator.com got one for $123 shipped... fairly easy to replace, you may want to consider a new thermo as well. it took me bout 2hrs or so and i didnt really know what i was doin...lol but it's all good now. You can buy an all metal rad for a bit more, but i did a direct OEM replacement. good luck

 

Dang, sucks for you guys. I had to replace mine in March, but my car was at 160K or so before that happened. I put in a CSF radiator and it's been another 25K since then with no problems.

 

yea like the guys said before OEM integra radiators are ****.....
aftermarket is the way to go. and if your gonna have a supercharged setup, i would think about investing in a fluidine....very very good ****

 

If you're going to get an aftermarket OEM type radiator, I highly suggest getting it from http://radiatorbarn.com . I bought one for about $100 shipped and it arrived at my door in 2 days.

 

My radiator just went at 88,xxx. Like everyone said, http://www.radiatorbarn.com you can get one for about $120 give or take.

 

Totally agree, buy the all alumnium one and save yourself any possible future replacement hazzle. Don't be penny wise and pound foolish.

BTW, how does having an AC affect it? Does it use the radiator or it has its own condenser?

 

condensor is full width, sits in front of the radiator.

What you see if you look through the front bumper/grille of the car is actually the A/C condensor, not the radiator.

 

mine last till 107k... then i got my fluidyne

 

Mines started to leak right after I replaced the thermostat. I'm guessing with the new thermostat holding pressure, it was too much for the old radiator. I just order a new one from radiatorexpress.com and it came on the same day. The swap was very easy.

 

i have a 93 da with 200k on the motor and my radi blew on my like 5 months ago(that was the original radi) and i bought a CSF radi brand new for $80

 

May want to just think about a fluidyne. OEM radiators are crap. Aftermarket radiators with metal end tanks look ugly as hell. And besides aluminum cools better and handles more pressure. Which is probably a better idea since you are going to be running a SC. Only problem witha fluidyne is you can't run your factory AC fan(you probably can with modifications). So you will have to invest in a new fan if you keep the AC.

 

Damn, thanks guys for all the help... Yesterday was crap, my radiator blew, my job attempted to scam me for my last check, my bank apparently misplaced about 700 dollars of mine, and i realized i dont have enough cash for my supercharger...
