unless you have swapped to a larger motor, or going turbo you factory radiator is perfect, if you are going to run the half radiator you must do some fabbing very light to get it to fit, otherwise your hood will not close..and if you just search for crx radiator on ebay the are also sold..

Really? Do you know anyone who has done this swap? My car over heats... and I know its the radiator. So I am looking into changing mine. Do you have some kind of link or site where it has pics of it installed?.

the half sized is great. i have a fluidyne in my 90 si. all you got to do is cut the crossmember to allow it to sit down and make some mounts. takes about an hour to do. makes the engine bay look alot better

Might as well do that. I was just interested in the increased cooling capacity because I live in FL. Which means 100 degrees of heat with 90% humidity. About 2x a month I am on the highway (I-95) for about 3 hours at 80 mph.

I just changed out my t-stat cuz my car was overheating on the highway. I flushed out the coolant and still overheated after I switched out my t-stat.

and the duel core del sol radiator is also the half size so it will fit a turbo more comfortably. that's also why i didn't get the DA radiator when i did my b16 swap.

Yes, my fans are working. Both of them are. My water pump has like 5k miles on it, so its like new, same with the timing belt and tensioner. I let my car sit for like 30 minutes with the radiator cap open. So there is no air and while the car was sitting there, even with the AC off, both fans turned on. And the t-stat opened because both radiator hoses were hot.
