i know its a funny ?, cause im gettin one haha but im jw what u all think cause i would think it would make ur car slower.....

 

aluminum doesnt break like the plastic oem pieces

 

I would think its more for future mods like a motor or something. If It's f'ed up already, why not take care of something like the radiator early and avoid spending the money twice. That's why I would do it

More fuild = more weight.

 

so your going to add like 1/10000000000000000000000 of a second?

 

doesnt matter if you win by an inch or a mile, winning's winning

 

Better cooling properties along with longevity and a little bling .

 

it heats up faster but cools alot faster and its lighter.

 

lol theres someone on here with that in there sig, but he added more to it, its pretty funny.

 

i dont think its lighter, there is more fluid in the aluminum radiator then the oem one

 

i really doubt that having a little bit more liquid in your radiator is going to slow u down a noticeable ammount if any... besides the aluminum radiators do weigh less than the stock ones which makes up for the added fluid

 

why would any of us modify our cars?............... Because it's our hobby

 

i didnt ask for modifing cars i asked about aluminum radiators, just wanted to see wat ppl thought about the added weight from the fluid.

Trust me, you won't notice the difference. If your worried about it remove the spare and your equal again. Seriously the aluminum weighs less then the steel so it's not that much heavier.

are you seriously asking this? think about how much extra coolant is in there, maybe a quart so lets say 2 pounds, if the general rule of thumb that every 100 pounds you take off your car gets you 1/10 of a second, then those 2 extra lb's are going to add 1/500 of a second in a 1/4 mile run, i cant believe you are worried about maybe 2 pounds...

 

I'd like to see a half-width Civic style Fluidyne radiator cool better than a stock Integra double width radiator - I don't think it'd happen.

I got my brand new Integra radiator for only $80.00 shipped from http://www.radiatorbarn.com a few years ago and it's been perfect:



Also the radiator I have weighs next to nothing. Lifetime warranty means that even if the tanks break it's replaced for free.

 

Also remember that above pictured radiator leaves no room for A/C. Which is around 30 Lbs. ( i think....) So that would help you lose the weight and gain better cooling as replied by B18C5-EH2.

Tom i see a dirty spot in the engine bay.

Definately cant go wrong with the integra radiator.. you can also get the oem dual core radiatior (from the b16 del sol) from radiator barn for around the same price and its twice as thick as the oringinal and its the same half style radiator.

Very nice! I'm digging your set up

OH ya... no A/C?

 

Damn...I just love seeing the simplicity of that engine and car. So clean. Business going good down there Tom?

 

Its a ligher, better part than stock. BUT, on a stock motor, its not worth the money because your motor (unless youve tuned it to death or FI) will not overheat.

I got a D16Y7, summer can get over 100, I'll redline it all day and that **** will NOT overheat. Its not worth the money on a stock engine, but if you swap, or are going FI, check into other Honda radiators, unless say your pushin over 14lbs of boost and goin lean.

Its mostly for looks, but the benefits dont justify the cost.

 

all of our hondas, from my mostly stock GSR to a turbo 300 hp teg, have stock radiators.....no need for anything else.
