I was just thinking. I currently have a full size radiator and b/c of the thermostat it never reaches the point for the fan to come on. I figured that when I swap to my halfsize civic radiator I may be able to get away with running a fan.

Any opinions???

did you mean WITHOUT A FAN.

If so the answer is no eventually at some point when the weather is warm if you sit still long enough it will get too hot.

 

but I would think in the winter it would be fine.

 

well yeah but even in the winter if you idle long enough it will probably eventually overheat. a radiator cools water by air flowing across it. no air flow no cooling. a fan is only used for idle and for a/c.
