yeah if you use the eg rad (92-95 civic) it is too tall...people say you just have to tilt it back (not sure how that works) or you can do the same with a dodge neon rad. other then that i'd go for the perfect fitting rad. i know......an ef one

Well other than a stock replacement you can use a dual core DA radiator (90-93 teg) like I have and you NEVER have to worry about overheating! It pretty much bolts right up

If you need a half width radiator, full-race makes one for the crx/civic that is not as tall as the eg one.

Or you can go with the DA integra one, it fits, I would know cuz I have one in my car right now. (full width)

all you got to do to get it to fit is cut the crossmember a little, slide it down there, make a bracket to secure it up top and that is it. took me and a friend about an hour to get my fluidyne eg radiator in. looks great, frees up room and cools like its nobodys business

whatever you do, dont buy an ef KOYO radiator, your gonna have to hack it to ****, and the 300 you spent on it is damn pointless, it'll look like a 10 dollar part from a junkyard by the time ur done with it.

Same as 92-95 manual tranny rad.I used one with a slim 12" fan from B18TurboEF [sponsor] and the combo worked great as the neon rad is shorter than a EG one and ddoenst require a "gangsta lean".The Neon one uses a rad cap on the thermo housing so you have to use a inline cap available from Moroso etc.
