Default Help me cool down my Swap

Well I have a 99 SI and that radiatior is not going to be good enough for the B18C5 So I was wondering if the fluidyne radiator for the SI would be good enough since it claims to cool up to 40% better? Your suggestions are needed please help a fellow wonabe R guy out.

stock rad will work fine. You have other problems and the rad is NOT one of them. check thermostat, fan switch, sending unit, etc..................

So your are saying to ugrade my thermastat and what else? Fan works fine. I just dont think the B16 rad will help much if I mod the R with some cams later down the line or if I beat the hell out of it at the track. The stock R is so big compared to the dinky Si one.

Where are you guys buying the Fluidyne now?

I think I jumped on a really sweet deal with mine when I bought it through carparts.com and they had their $100dollar rebate offer.....

My full row Teg one was delivered and all for $271.00USD to WA..... Seems like everywhere I look now I can't find it for any less than 399.00?

I traded a set of Z10 bars for my Integra Fluidyne.
I traded a set of ITR pistons, rings and a headgasket for my Civic Fluidyne.

Koyo if you have the money but use Fluidyne if you can't afford the koyo. Maybe even use a stock ITR

Integra radiator cost me $100 and labor was cheap (I only charged myself $20/hour).
Cooling system operates beautifully.
