sup guys i got a 1990 crx with a b16a motor in it and the radiator went bad on it and ive bought alot of radiatiors and non of them fit the original is to big ive tried radiator from a 99 honda si,94 civic,95 del sol,94 prelude and even integras all years can anyone help me out to see which one fits thanks

 

how about using a stock crx radiator?? or are you lookin for a half size? the 79 civic cvcc radiator is half size and it is not too tall. I have a 92 GSR radiator and it is the same size as the crx one except its dual core. The 92-95 civic (this includes the del slow) are too tall and you will have to cut your hood to make it fit or have the gangsta lean goin on with it. I would go for the 90-93 integra radiator because like I said its dual core and it has bigger inlets for the B series hoses unlike the crx radiator. With the crx radiator and the b series hoses the lower hose always pissed out coolant on the ground even clamped 2 times so i just got sick of that after a while

Or the EG or the 95 neon.

 

Use the stock one. If your going turbo you'll have to switch to a single core, and that will require some slight cutting on the lower subframe. The stock radiator is more than sufficient though.

 

stock is best fit, next is 90-91 teg

 

stock is fine for the b16a unless you are going turbo or want to drop a handful of cash on an aftermarket unit like a fluidyne

 

there are 2 types of ef civic radiators, the most common is the DX/SI.

There was also one 2 inches shorter that came on STD model hatchbacks.

but these guys are right, use a stock one. no reason to upgrade unless you have forced induction, ITB's or some crazy motor in there that actually gets too hot, which i doubt.

i have a b16a and i use the shorter STD radiator in my crx bc its ******* bent and it fit better until i get the front done for the spring.

never gets too hot even when i drive it like i stole it for long periods of time, and waste all my money on oil changes bc im paranoid. so anyway, stock is fine, and i even have that old stock fan in there too. never had a problem. just thermostats suck and break a lot since i buy **** from autozone instead of OEM like i should. but anyway, you get the idea.

all those models you tried were most likley too tall, and the def wont work with the stock mounts.

 

like the one guy said. 95 neon rad will fit.....trust me.....my friend used one and works fine

 

thanks guys for all your help
