ok:

1.) no need to yell in all capitals....you'll get flamed for that so i'm just warnin you now.
2.) it all depends on your personal preference, if you don't need the space then it shouldn't make a difference. although if it's a space thing then you can run the civic radiator but you might have to make or move your mount to fit it on there. i've seen it done a bunch but never checked to see how it's mounted. maybe drop by the civic forums and see what they say.
3.) if your looking at a difference on cooling temps then i wouldn't worry about that, these cars are supposed to run so cool that having a smaller radiator would probably make no difference in cooling the engine. someone correct me if i'm wrong. mainly it would be for space and aesthetics.

 

I initially wanted a smaller rad in my dc, but that was for 1) to make room for a bigger manifold and 2)it does look a little cleaner.
But as mentioned, its personal preference.
As far as your question about fitment, yes. It'll fit.
In any case nothing a little common sense can't fix. No hacking, welding, etc tc necessary.

 

If you were staying N/A then it would be fine. But if you plan on boosting the gsr your really going to be pushing the civic radiator. for the best of both worlds, get a half size full aluminum radiator. it would be very efficiant and look nice and small.

 

i was turbo and i used a delsol vtec dual core radiator and it worked well

 

where can i get a half sized all aluminum

 

i ran a civic automatic radiator while i had my turbo setup in. and my old DC radiator went to my cousin with a gsr EG. so hopefully you can get an idea from that.

my gsr radiator didn't "bolt" in. we had to use some zipties, but whatever holds it up! haha

you can get a an aluminum one from any HT sponser. just give them a PM.
