Default Bigger Radiator?

Anyone know of a larger radiator that will fit our cars, such as one for a six cylinder Accord etc? must fit in the oem brackets as space is at a minimum under my hood. Thanks in advance for the help.

I would like more information about them, I have seen their advertisements and would like to know if it is a true direct fit. I don't have 1/2 inch to spare with my turbo setup......anyone using their products?

I'm running a Griffen. It's full sized, a little thicker well more than a little thicker than the stock, but bolts in the stock location.

If you don't have room to spare, why are you going for a larger radiator? Most likely an aftermarket full row won't fit but that depends on your setup.

My car does not like the 105+ degree days here in Texas. I want more capacity but it needs to extend forward not aft for more room. I have already moved one fan to the front and am currently replacing it with a much larger one.

I have been down the "direct fit" , "bolts right up" road before on other cars and found myself doing a lot of custm fabricating to make it work. I just do not have the room or the patience to go that way again.

GL trying to find one in the mannor your looking. Most go aft and not forward when talking about a larger radiator. Are you using the stock one now? A suggestion would be the half sized civic one, but in say a Koyo variety. I wonder if that would cool better.
