Have you guys experienced your radiators leaking along the top where the silver trim is? About an hour ago I begin to see trace amounts of white smoke along the roof line and pull over to find that the bottom splash shield is collecting coolant via a small leak along the top of the radiator. Dammit!

Next question, would Len be the best source from an OE replacement or is there another brand I may want to check out. BTW, the car is stock and I race DS in auto-x. Immediate responces would be greatly appreciated.

thanks a mil!

Oh yeah everyone I've owned has done this. It happens where the metal meets the plastic. I would recommend getting an all metal one so it doesn't happen again in the future. I used a Modine on my GS-R.

 

This is a common problem for G3 tegs, it happened to me with my previous GSR. When I replaced it, I got an aluminum radiator just so the problem would not reoccur. Fluidyne is the brand I went with. Now my brother has the car and no complaints yet.

 

there is some one in the sponser forums that sells direct replacement Rads, take a look. Just a thought.

found some links:

Thanks guys! Isn't it funny how you learn about various parts only when they get FUBAR'ed!

 

That's the way it tends to happen

 

My Fluidyne went in nice, but the stock fans didn't fit in. Too bad FALs cost so much .

The one on the passenger side, the bigger one bolts right up, if its a 94-01 Integra fluidyne going into a 94-01 integra itll bolt up, unlike the Koyos the Fluydines have provisons for both the Showa and Denso fans. The A/C fan will not bolt up though.

 

I have the same problem with my radiator on my 94 RS.

If i buy a Fluidyne do I need a to buy a different A/C fan?

Which radiator can I buy without having to replace anything else? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Well on mine the top bolted up, and i had to modify the bottom to make it fit. Then I basically had to cut 1/2 of the fan shroud(sp?) to get it to fit in. I'm looking to get one of those slim fans once it get hot again for the a/c side. Unless I find someone selling their flexalites for cheap.

 

Just had mine replaced under warantee

 

My OEM took a dive at 90k mark. I'd just get another one, which will last you another 90k. That'll cost you $100. How much are Fluidyne's? $300? Being stock, just stick with OEM or a generic radiator. No need for an all metal one, IMO.

The modine all metal one is only 130. I'd personally go with that and then forget about it. But that's just me.

Yeah that's the excuse I'm going with to justify dropping $300 on a non-performance item.

I think I'll be going with the OEM just for piece of mind, fitment, and Solo 2 compliance.

Thanks for all the info Dave B.

 

NP fool.

 

Happened to me friday night.

Only leaking at night in the "cold" florida nights we've had lately. during the day I can't detect ANY leaking.

Any all metal solutions that work with the stock fan without too much modifying of the fan brackets/etc?

Otherwise stock for me I guess

Len, or a racer that has replaced his radiator for a upgraded one. You might want to ping people you know that have been stripping OEM cars, or look through the F/S ads. I sold my OEM one a year ago.
