Story goes:
I'm parting out my civic in order to get rid of one car and to make way for a family beater.

JDM bling: I bought a spoon radiator, and etc. fitting and others don't seem to be a problem but I want to keep the A/C. What do you do with the compressor/fan and others?





I did some searches, all I could find are people that just did away with A/C, PS, etc. Someone help? Ideas? Thanks

 

Correct me if I'm wrong because I may be on crack here.

I think if you go with an aftermarket fan company say Maradyne, you have the option of double stacking on a half radiator like that.

I guess I'm confused about your question. More info please!

Aloha,

best to say: i AM A NEWB at this:

Well there's 2 fans on integra radiators. I've seen ITR/Integra people use a civic radiator for their turbo cars. I wanna put that radiator on my ITR but I don't know what to do with the other fan. Would I need to to keep A/C?

 

Why not use that radiator, and use the civic condensor for the AC. If you look at the Civic Engine bay you will see it looks almost like 2 radiators. When had a swap in mine, I just used the B16A radiator out of an 2000 SI, and kept the stock AC stuff. If you do this you can use your Spoon radiator.

 

You can use the A/C without the condenser fan.

I heard that taking out the fan was an bad idea, from a Honda-Tech ie dealership. If it wasn't needed they wouldn't put it in right

 

im running the pwr civic radiator....no a/c.


a/c wouldnt work with the peakboost manifold.

I agree, but after 20 MPH it doesn't help anyway. I ran my A/C without that fan, I just used it judiciously in stop and go traffic.

Also, the other fan seems to turn on anyway when turning on the A/C.

hey.. is that DC2's engine bay? i need to install half rad just like you did.. do you want to tell me what u had to do to make it fit?
Was there alot of modification to make it fit?
please tell me what has to be done. thanks alot

 

you need to move the bottom radiator mounts...

drill out the spot welds and either reweld or use screws

there are lots of topics to use a dc2 radiator in a civic

btw looks like an eg to me

 

that's my EG bay...

 

I forgot to add that I have a JDM front end. would this affect anything?

no offense but that's quite a stupid idea. The condenser needs constant airflow when the a/c is on. If you don't mind not having a/c when the car is not moving, then remove the fan...

I would do it right and just install a low profile pusher on the front of the condenser.

*shrug* Turbo and C&R Radiator were in the way. Zero room for a fan. (Not even a pusher, oil cooler in the way).

Better than no A/C. It worked. No chance I was going to a half rad.

Well I'm not gonna go turbo, that's double the maintenance. Someone mentioned getting a the other side of a Civic Si radiator?

I sort of get the idea of that but I would like to see how it was done.

Well you use the Spoon radiator. Then the Civic SI condensor/fan for the AC. It is sepearte units. I don't have any pics, but would fit perfect in the EG. I had it done, but unfortunalty sold the car. Works fine. Just search for an EG with a swap.

so, basially borrow the idea of an EG with a swap that is still retaining A/C?

I'm kinda lost...it seems like people are starting to think I wanna put the radiator in a Civic?

Take it easy, I was totally confused too But that's not hard to do.

 

Oh I see, you have the Spoon radiator, for a EG, but want to put it in the DC, but still use the AC?

The pic of the EG engine bay made it a little confusing.

Well do the same, might take a little fab but not much.
