my stock CX radiator isn't cutting it at all. But i also don't want to shell out 400+ for a new aluminum. I heard that the Integra ones fit with slight modifications? true? what year would i need? do i need new hoses as well? can i keep my a/c fan and have room since i'm in texas and NEED my a/c? lemme know what options i have!!!! thanks.

 

Go get a Del Sol DOHC VTEC radiator. Same dimensions and you can keep your a/c. With the GSR radiator you have to get all the lines and hoses from a GSR.

 

what extreme said

but as for me, i have had no problems with the stock radiator....

 

i still have my stock dx radiator, everything is still running cool, be sure to bleed the air out....which im sure you already did... but mine ran hot the first time we started it because we didnt bleed the air out ...but after that it has been running fine, but summer is almost here....so i guess i'll see if it can take the heat.

 

im using my stock ex radiator with my b16
works GREAT
no overheating problems.

 

got the air bled out. i mean it's working okay i guess...temp's about half way up..doesn't get any hotter. but this is in 70 degree temp...come summer when it's 100 and i have my a/c full blast stop and go traffic, i don't want to chance it. Del Sol DOHC vtec radiator huh....can i buy one of those new? Cuz i know i won't be able to find one in a junkyard around here Or anyone know a good source for them?

 

That's what's I have. . . . works grip!

 

I've got my d15 radiator -- it's great as long as it's not over 80.. otherwise it will pretty much constantly kickin' over the fan.. Anyone know where to get new cheap delsol / civic auto radiators?

 

Stock 93 Si radiator works for me, and I run the hell out of my car.

 

I still have the stock motor in my 92 CX but I swapped in a 98 GSR radiator.
I used the CX fan and all the CX hoses.
Works like a charm too, I dont know why someone suggested its not a drop in as far as hoses and electrical! It was easy! the CX fan screwed into two bolt holes on the GSR radiator and I fabbed a third... the fourth is wedged in by the lower hose tube.
Well, it went in with just a little work for bottom mount points, nothin' major, I got the info from the HYBRID site... thanks HYBRID!

 

DEL SOL dual core...works like a charm!

 

fluidyne w/24lb cap
spoon thermo
manual fan switch
FAL fan
redline waterwetter
never gets hot
EVER!!! even at Watkins Glen

 

i have a gsr radiator... works really well...

 

automatic civic core. nice and thick like del sol vtec

 

im usin a dual core radiator i got for free when mine exploded not sure what kind it is

 

yeah me too.. i have a dual core radiator my dx came with a dual core when i bought it.. who knows..

 

they have to fluidyne for civic on groupbuy for $320 shipped. if you want to spend that much. just lettin you know

my friends b18c1 hatch is overheating with the dx radiator. im gonna have em bleed it to see if thats the problem. if that doesnt work, would an integra ls radiator be good enough or should i go with the del sol dohc or gsr
i think we found the integra ls radiator for like 130 new from a local parts store
im assuming any radiator place could do the install

 

del sol dohc vtec for $135 shipped from radiators.com

 

thanks

 

what's bleeding the radiator?

 

Del Sol Vtec radiator

 

double core civic rad,...on my built B18c1 for now,....holding up well.....

 

I am reading up on as much as I can before I drop the GSR into my Eg hatch

I guess I'll be upgrading to a Del Sol DOHC VTEC radiator. From above: Same dimensions and you can keep your a/c. With the GSR radiator you have to get all the lines and hoses from a GSR.

Except I'm going to lose the A/C I've read about the GSR radiator and you have to fabricate new brackets. I'm more of a simple guy who would rather work with a drop in replacement The reason I am choosing a GSR motor over an H22

Great Info none the less

 

my car was running a lil hot with civic radiator and since i dont use a/c im swaping a integra 1 in ill tell you how it goes
