I just swap a 98 gsr motor in my car. And the stock radiator doesnt fit the eg radiator support. I have on a b16 radiator right now but i feel like it might overheat soon. So..i was wondering what radiator should i buy?

 

Id go with a Fluidyne radiator for your year civic, thats if ya plan on using your AC.
If not go with an Integra dual fan radiator setup, not shore on what year would best fit your applitation.
Im new to the civic seen, Im use to Integra's. So dont quote me on this.

thanks,

You can use your stock civic radiator. If you want to shell out 300 bones, Koyo or Fluidyne.

 

Yep, I'm running a B18C4 (EU counterpart of the C1) with a stock DX radiator.

No problems so far, not really see the benefit of an expensive radiator.

 

My wife's 1992 Si HB w/B16A2 swap ran on a stock civic radiator for a few years before it gave out, then we replaced it with another Civic radiator and it's still fine after 3 or more years. Even a single row, half core stock Civic radiator can handle DOHC duties.

My B18C5 hatch has a 94-01 Integra radiator in it from http://www.radiatorbarn.com which only costed me $90.00 or so, but I also don't have A/C. I've ran it for years with zero cooling issues.

If you decide to go with a Teg radiator you will need to remove the lower mounts on the core support and either reweld them or use self tapping bolts to attach them back to the core support once you position them correctly after setting the Teg radiator in place to mock up the positioning.

Then you'll need a Teg main cooling fan motor and shroud or ghetto rig the Civic shroud because it doesn't line up right on the Teg radiator.

Lastly you can fab up a simple upper mount and be done.

The B16A radiaor you have now should be plenty. IMO expensive Fluidyne/Koyo radiators are overkill for stockish swaps, and if you don't care about A/C the Teg radiator is a better upgrade IMO because it has more surface area to help cool things and costs 1/3 the price of the Fluidyne/Koyos.

I have a single row, half core stock radiator and stock fan cooling my H22 swap. Been riding that way for almost 2 yrs now, and not a single problem.

 

You can use any Honda radiator try for a radiator from a automatic becase it is dual core (better cooling). All you have to do is plug the ATF cooler on the bottom with a hose.
