has anyone used this radiator before, any problems with reliability? this is the same company that famous for making the honda turbo manifolds that are famous for dropping turbos

i need a radiator, but don't have the money right now to buy a koyo or fluidyne

 

you get what you pay for. you should already know there is a problem with this radiator because they say it fits the B and D series. so it is a D series part, with a 28mm fitting, the B has a 32mm fitting...unless they give you an adapter...not likely. koyo is available for under 300 if you look hard enough. i got mine for 260 and i paid tax.

 

i want something for less than 200

Go to autozone, get the dual core from a DelSol.

 

company A takes 5 bucks to make a product company B with higher quality product takes 10 bucks to make a product.... company A sells it for 100, company B sells it for 200... company B is selling a better product but I aint paying overinflated prices for products even though i do like quality..

some products sell at 50% off for christmas and still make a decent profit after all the deductions... makes you think, eh?

so you get what you pay for isn't always true but usually the item that costs more is of higher quality.. many of the items on the market have overinflated prices

 

a $100 dual core from a del sol or auto ex is a better choice

Besides, Id never touch anything from ssautochrome with a a 10 foot pole

 

do some searching. I have read plenty of good reviews from people using these less expensive units. I will probably try one out in a few weeks.

 

i did a search, didn't come up with anything

question about the delsol dual core, is it thicker than the stock ej hatch radiator? is it better? what are the differences?

I would recommend the delsol dual core radiator too.

In fact, I bought one of these

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...&rd=1

I've had it for 2months and there are no problems yet! Many people with EG's have bought this one also and they have no problems.

 

Go for it. A radiator is a radiator.

It's all aluminum so it won't crack.....I've been using a similar ebay one for awhile now and it's awesome.

Don't listen to these guys, they are just pissed that they spent 400 on a fluidyne....if they've actually used an ebay one then they wouldn't be dissing them.

I spend 200 total including shipping on my aluminum radiator and 12'' slimfan. Works like a charm

Get your radiator from them.

Usually any aftermarket radiators for 92-95 civics will be "fits all" which means they are all double thick/dual core units for the Civic automatic, which is the exact same as the Del Sol VTEC radiator (in terms of the cooling capacity, thickness, and core size) everyone raves about.

They only sell/make the auto versions so that they cannot send the wrong ones.

Do you have A/C?

Well, when I looked under:"ebay radiator", I came up with more than 10 direct hits.

One of us is missing a few synapses...

 

will that work good for boost? is it the same as the del sol one?

actually, the del sol vtec radiator has a bigger neck on it. b series hoses are bigger.

 

i got my koyo for right at 100 bucks shipped from ebay. it has 30% better cooling than stock and is about twice as thick, even though it says OEM replacement. go with one of those, it will keep your car cool way better than stock at only 100 bucks its a steal.

About $100 w/Lifetime warranty I believe.

i don't know, i searched a few times and it said nothing can be found

 

try typing "civic radiator" that should give you some hits instead of "ebay radiator"

 

what i was mentioning is not only about quality, but fitment. the D series uses a 28mm hose, and the B uses a 32mm. the ad for the radiator says it fits both, so the hose could leak because it is just clamped down to make it fit. this is actually the main reason i went from a VX to my koyo. yes, the koyo is bling, and it makes my coolant temperature drop when i am just cruising around with the heater on, but the fit was right on.

 

If the radiator neck is bead rolled, or has a lip, not sure what it's called....then he shouldn't have a problem.

I am using B-series hoses on a D-series radiator, no leaks.
